From: Daniel Bischof <ftpadmin@suse.com> To: <lwn@lwn.net> Subject: SuSE Linux 7.2 FTP-version available Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 17:45:04 +0200 (CEST) The FTP-version of SuSE Linux 7.2 (i386) will be available on Tue Jul 03, 2001 afternoon (GMT) on ftp.suse.com in /pub/suse/i386/7.2 The size of that directory is approx. 5200 MB. Because ftp.suse.com has very high traffic, we suggest that you use one of our mirror sites - many of them (particularly in Europe) already have 7.2 by the time you read this. A list of mirror sites is available at http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/ Some mirrors (as listed on www.suse.de) known to have 7.2 available right now: Europe: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/7.2/ http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linux/suse/suse.com/i386/7.2/ ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/mirrors/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/7.2/ ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/SuSE/suse/i386/7.2/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/suse/i386/7.2/ America: ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/suse/suse/i386/7.2/ (soon) ftp://herbie.ucs.indiana.edu/linux/suse/suse/i386/7.2/ Asia: ftp://openbazaar.net/SuSE/i386/7.2/ Answers to frequently asked questions: - SuSE installation support (support@suse.de) will not answer questions regarding the FTP-version of SuSE Linux Please contact feedback@suse.de for suggestions, bug reports, etc. - ftp.suse.com is located in California, USA. Users in Europe are strongly recommended to use a mirror site in Europe such as ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ - the FTP-version of SuSE Linux is very similar, but not identical to the boxed version sold in stores. It has the same core (Kernel, glibc, gcc, ...) but lacks some, mostly commercial packages - as of SuSE Linux 7.1, the FTP-version comes with crypto support (OpenSSH, OpenSSL, gpg, FreeS/WAN, etc.) - the FTP-version includes the SuSE Linux reference handbook (PDF format) in German, English, Spanish, French and Italian as well as other SuSE-specific and general documentation in various formats - if you wish to try SuSE Linux without installing it, we suggest the Live-Evaluation version available as CD ISO image Regards, -- ------ __ _ Daniel Bischof <ftpadmin(-at-)suse.com> / _| |_ _ __ ___ _ _ ___ ___ ___ ___ _ __ ___ | |_| __| '_ \ / __| | | / __|/ _ \ / __/ _ \| '_ ` _ \ | _| |_| |_) |\__ \ |_| \__ \ __/| (_| (_) | | | | | | |_| \__| .__(_)___/\__,_|___/\___(_)___\___/|_| |_| |_| |_|
