I directed a friend to get the OpenSUSE and this is what he found.
I told him to go to http://www.opensuse.org. I am not sure what he clicked on but it took him to
http://en.opensuse.org/Download Perhaps asking him what he clicked might be a wise thing. Most likely he typed in www.opensuse.org in his broser, wich takes him to http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org When you click "Download" you get to the http://en.opensuse.org/Download

That is exactly what he did. He typed www.opensuse.org and it took him to http://en.opensuse.org/Welcom_to_openSUSE.org/
Now this is something else. That is not openSUSE anymore. It is Novell.
When you click on it, it takes you to...
With me it does not.
I guess I have the same problem, I also tried it and I get the Novell page with United States-Deutsch. It also has edit buttons, which my friend told me he does not have. I can not seem to figure out how I have english most of the way but then I seem to be in a German forum. I do sometimes look at and read the German site. I did not think that would change things to be in combination of both languages. I prefer English but I do like to read some things in German.
Most likely he has his settings to German. The site is a bit anoying. If I go to http://www.novell.com/de-de/products/suselinux/ I get redirected to http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux
At the top you see left to the search at the top the country and language. Click that to change your preferences. Wether or not it works, I do not know. If it does not work, please complain at the Novell webmaster. When asked politely, they correct things pretty fast.
That does work. I just do not understand how United States-Deutch was
selected. When I want to read in German I select Germany and it defaults
to Deutch. Which is what I expect. Maybe it has something to do with
cookies on my machine. But he has no idea how he got United
States-Deutch. I did not know you could change things up there. Thanks
for teaching me how to get him working.
Thanks much.
