Re: [opensuse] SLE 11 Beta

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:

Anyone know the download URL for SLE 11.0 beta?

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 ?

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
