For openSUSE you can go to [http://software.opensuse.org/123/en](http://software.opensuse.org/123/en) and download live (installable images) or the dvd… there is also documentation links for installing. – Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.3 (x86\_64) Kernel 3.7.10-1.16-desktop up 18:01, 4 users, load average: 0.45, 0.19, 0.10 CPU AMD E2-1800@1.70GHz | GPU Radeon HD 7340
