About the various SuSE versionsSuSE has a broad range of server and desktop products, from the home userto the enterprise. As usual, I focus on the desktop. You can examine the fullrange of SuSe offerings at its Web site, www.suse.com, if you re interested infinding out more information. The desktop versions available from SuSEinclude SuSE Linux LiveEval:The SuSE LiveCD. You can download this versionfrom www.suse.com/us/private/download/ftp/live_eval_int. html, burn it to CD, and boot into a SuSE environment without having toinstall. An ISO for this version is included in the distrosfolder of thisbook s DVD-ROM. The LiveCD, however, comes in two versions: the KDE- based version (see Chapter 6), which is the default GUI in SuSE, and aGNOME version. SuSE Linux 9.2 Personal:The SuSE baseline desktop product. Comeswith the LiveEval. You can purchase a boxed set with manuals or down- load the CD-ROM image from www.suse.com/us/private/download/ ftp/personal_iso_int.html. SuSE Linux 9.2 Professional: A far more extensive version of SuSE, withfive CDs and two DVDs worth of material. Useful for both desktop andserver. This is the version of SuSE covered in this chapter. SuSE Linux Download:You can download and install SuSE free of chargebeyond the Personal edition, but you re getting something in betweenthe Personal and Professional, as some of the software included in theboxed sets requires license fees to other companies and so cannot befreely given away without significant cost to Novell. The installationprocess in this case isn t particularly simple, so I don t typically recom- mend it to beginners. If you want to find out more about this version, goto www.suse.com/us/private/download/suse_linux/and read theinstallation guidelines for the FTP install. Zapping Frustration with XandrosXandros (www.xandros.com) is another commercial distribution especiallydesigned for people coming over from the Windows world to Linux and is inparticular designed to integrate well with existing Windows networks in theworkplace. It s another Debian-based distribution that is not meant for thosewho want to become Linux geeks and is instead focused on people who justwant to get their work done. An ISO of the free version of this distribution isincluded in the distrosfolder of this book s DVD-ROM. 85Chapter 4: Installing Other Linux Distributions08_
