Hi,
I am interested in a suse 9.0 AMD64 download too. At the moment I am testing with the 8.2 Beta9, which is working with my Athlon64 fine. I found the Beta9 download on some mirrors of SUSE, but not on the Suse-FTP-Server.
I would object to the binaries - but I'm not sure what the legal side is on this one. The sources are nessecary too and i think the legal side says, that you must offer the sources together with the binaries.
Read the GPL and what I said. I have no problems with distributing the sources. And yes, when we offer the binaries, we have to make sources available one way or the other...
The DVD is double sided (one side binaries, one side sources), there shouldn't be any problems for making available just the sources... Do you have problems to offer the binaries together with the sources ?
If you offer the Software as ISO-CD-Images, everyone can decide itself, which images to load. The Beta9-Download is offered with 9 CD-ISO-Images, i have loaded the first 4 Images with Binaries and could test. Some day later i loaded the rest to get the complete Version with sources. This was a good way.
Have a look at our normal ftp versions of x86, they are distributed as rpms and not as ISOs. Just for the 8.2beta9 we offered ISOs.
