Hello,
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
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 page.
Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, it may take several hours to download SUSE Linux. If you prefer to avoid a lengthy download process, you may purchase a copy of SUSE Linux 10.0 with printed manuals and free installation support at a retail shop, a web store, or directly from Novell. You can find more information on our retail edition on SUSE Linux products page with this link below.
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.
Which is all in German. He says why would I want to go to a german site to get more information from a English site.
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. houghi -- If money can't buy happiness, I guess you'll just have to rent it.
