I posted instructions to the SuSE link to ftp install the latest version
last week.

Here they are again:

<instructions>
SuSE don't normally make ISO images available other than of their Evaluation
SuSE Live disks.

Easiest solution is to do an FTP install.

Take a look at:

http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/suse_linux/index.html

If you have a second machine on your local network that can serve files via
NFS, you could download all the files to that, though again they're not
availbale as a single ISO.
</instructions>

The biggest advantage of SuSE at the moment is they're still committed to
making patches for two years - that means a lot less upgrading compared to
RedHat who are patching only the latest major version.
