If you have an interest to participating beta testers for SLED/SLES, see

Please be adviced that SLE11beta1 and OpenSuse11.1 have a serious issue on network driver read at http://news.opensuse.org/ Im copying a portion here: --------------------copy----------- "We have an important announcement regarding *openSUSE 11.1 beta 1* and *SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 beta 1*: The Intel e1000e driver on openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Beta 1 might have a serious issue *with the potential to damage the network card* in a way that it cannot be used any longer. Intel and Novell are currently working to analyze and solve the issue. For the time being: Please do *NOT USE*: openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 or SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Beta 1 on systems with Intel e1000e hardware." ----------------------end copy---------- Regards Andreas Jaeger wrote:

Disregard my previous message, duh, I need to learn to read before I post - openSUSE != SLE.

When it hits public beta, it *should* be at http://www.novell.com/beta - it's not there yet.

If you have an interest to participating beta testers for SLED/SLES, see "Call for SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Beta Testers". http://news.opensuse.org/2008/09/15/call-for-suse-linux-enterprise-and-opens...

And that one states that SLE11 has a private beta program - and private beta means that the betas are also not publically available,

Nowhere, assuming you mean the 11 SLE.

For two reasons: One, that the betas are not made public, it's a private testing program (contrary to opensuse practice). Two, it has as big problem and has been removed (same as the beta of opensuse).

So what does a software developer do to get a head start onto SLE 11 ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dunno. How about asking them? They have a beta testing program. There was a request for testers recently in the factory list: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-09/msg00312.html - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I already discovered that. ANYONE can get the beta. Simply sign up for partnernet, there is no cost or obligation, you just need to answer a few questions. Once you signed up for PartnerNet go to http://download.novell.com, login, and go to the "My Downloads" section and SLED and SLES beta are there for anyone to download. There is no need to be invited to the test or apply. I signed up for partnernet and had instant access to the beta. I just wish the SUSE people were more open about giving this info out. I asked someone from Novell and quickly got the answer on how to download the beta. I dont see any GPL source code on this beta..... On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 10:59 AM, Darren Davis wrote:

For Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), we announced a separate beta program;

http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/SLE_11_ISV_BETA

But at this point we have accepted most of the ISV applications we are going to take. As a member of Novell's PartnerNet, you would have been notified. All technology partners have access to the beta to download and try for themselves anyway. Or, as pointed out here, developing on openSUSE 11.1 beta is about the same thing, so would be a good head start.

Cheers,

Darren
