openSUSE Linux latest (11.1) DVD

J

I had installed ver 11 of the openSUSE Linux OS (came with Digit magz). Now I would like to install/upgrade to the recently-released ver 11.1 (see *www.opensuse.org/en/). But I do not have Net connection fast enough & 8 pm to 8 am (earlier free) is now chargeable (Tata Indicom ADSL).

Is there any place in India (or abroad) where one can buy this DVD (openSUSE 11.1) ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

G

Buy OpenSUSE out here: *en.opensuse.org/Buy_openSUSE

You could probably upgrade to 11.1 using apt-get, although I'm not too sure about the intricacies.

Hey, can we get R.H.E.L 5 for free?

T

^^No.
But you can use it for free if you are willing to use CentOS repo .

Buying the DVD from OpenSuse will turn out to be very expensive. It will be better if you buy from some other seller or get DVD image from someone having it in your city(or this forum)

Upgrading will mean lot of bandwidth use. About 8-9 hours min, can't afford that.

No, no ....don't want the boxed (retail/supported version), that is too expensive @ $ 59 + Shipping ... {might as well upgrade to (bloatware) Windows Vista or MS Office 2007}.
Am looking for the *free* version of openSUSE 11.1; (as in here: *software.opensuse.org/), just like most other users.

^^OpenSuse 11.1 isn't available there.

Sorry! My mistake.

EDIT:
Maybe this one:

EDIT#2:
I suggest you wait for February, LFY may very well give OpenSUSE 11.1 DVD with its issue.

Did you know that we have a distro request thread?

Doesn't matter....it (DVD) was there on eBay.in (openSUSE 11.1).

Best would be to ask your freinds to download the DVD.

Neville bro is very charitable

and i am sure he forgot to add "r in fee" :))

I installed openSUSE11.1 but the Notification area of KDE 4.1.3 where kinternet,volume icons etc are, is invisible but when i hover my mouse there, the icons are there as a pop-up confirms its presence. Only the clock remains visible.
Any help will be appreciated.

I think you should buy an LFY mag @ Rs.125. This month they bundle Fedora 10. This would be quicker for you as well.

LFY costs just Rs. 100

Yes Vamsi you should buy Linux For You and will get a nice labelled Fedora 10 DVD but dont know if its available at your place. :cry:
