[HLUG] Anyone used SUSE disks that were given out at some meeting?

[Benjamin Weber]

Andrew,

If it's the same as the trial you can download from the novell website it will 
continue to function, but you can't get updates beyond the trial period, same 
for novell linux desktop, so you can either manually patch it, buy a support 
subscription from novell, or use plain suse linux rather than SLES.
