Just curious, but if Linuxiso.org wanted the iso's so bad, couldn't they just make ISO's themeselve if you were to go and buy the real distro? I don't know but I bet you can do something like /dev/cdrom > image.iso to make an ISO. This would be a good thing for both Linuxiso and SuSE - they'd both get what they wanted... -Tim On Friday 23 March 2001 05:27 pm, you wrote:

I posted earlier a message about linuxiso and their interpretation of the yast licence, seems nobody cared since I didn't trash anyone... I really don't care if there is an iso out there or not, that does not make suse any better or any worse, it is just another way of packaging an evaluation version (which is available via ftp anyway), so what? But obviously linuxiso wants an iso, can't blame them for keeping up to their name :)
I believe that suse has the finest distribution out there by far, I've been using it for quite a while now and believe me, I test a lot of distributions every now and then and none of them have been able to convince me to get away from suse.
Anyway, it is by far much convenient to download a single, huge file and then burn a cd from it. ftping/mirroring a whole bunch of files is just a pain. As much as I wish that the iso was available right away, no one, including myself, is in a position to judge or to complain to suse for not having it available. Also I believe that it is a different process to have a 6/7 cd version ready to ship, which is their main priority, than to have a compacted 1 cd version available for everyone to test, so it takes more time. Makes sense, doesn't it?
