"Dead again"Free Linux Collection From Novell

[hevnsnt]

--Just got this email--

As you may have noticed, there has been a slight delay in your Novell Linux Technical Resource DVD kit shipment. We had a phenomenal response to this free offer, and have had to adjust production to meet this demand.

In an effort to provide you with the most current Linux software from Novell, and to accommodate the release of a new, yet-to-be-announced Linux product, the decision was made to delay shipment on some of the more recent Linux Technical Resource Kit orders.

As a result, your kit will ship during the last week of July * with the latest Linux software from Novell. We will notify you again as soon as your order is mailed.

We appreciate your patience, and are confident you will find the Novell Linux Resource Kit a comprehensive tool to evaluate the Linux offerings from Novell.

Sincerely,
Novell Customer Communities

I know there has been talk that they will released Suse 9 Enterprise Linux soon so maybe that is the new product they are talking about. I hope so cause mine are on hold too for same reason and it would be nice to get latest versions.

what he said

Um, guys/gals, page 2, I mentioned what was in the package (if you got the same package I got)...

Ordered mine ~2 weeks ago, got it in the other day. Contains 3 DVDs. DVD 1A has: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, Nterprise Linux Services 1.0, GroupWise 6.5.1, Red Carpet Enterprise Server 2.02, ConsoleOne and Linux Resources. DVD 1B has: SUSE Linux Professional 8.2 (32-bit only) and Ximian Desktop 2. DVD 1C has: SUSE Linux Professional 9.1 (32-bit only). I was hoping for the 64-bit version of SUSE Linux Pro 9.1 to be in the package, but I looked thru the entire 3rd DVD and can't find the 64-bit RPMs.

That's what I got. Don't know about 64-bit RPMs. They all have "Evaluation Software DVD-Rom" and "Summer 2004" on them.
