SuSE Would certainly like that you pay for it, but, like any Linux, you can download it for free. The trick is, you can't download ISOs. You have to either buy a box, or install straight off the net. (I think you can also make floppy sets, but who wants to do that?). See http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/suse_linux/index.html for information. Andy Peter Evans wrote:

You won't find it. Or anyway, you shouldn't find it.
If you want it, you're supposed to pay for it. I have to say that this is not entirely dissimilar to the policy of Microsoft [ducks quickly], but you get a better product for less money [reemerges nervously].
With all the turmoil going on about the changes at Red Hat, I thought I would try SuSE.
If you don't want to pay for SuSE, http://www.distrowatch.com/ will tell you as much as you need to know about more alternative distros than you feared could exist.
