11/14/2001 — Would you like to test and see the new functionalities and the look-and-feel of SUSE Linux before installing it on your computer?
Now you have the chance to do it at no cost!

You can find the ISO of the so-called SUSE "Live Filesystem" under ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/l ive-eval-7.3. Once written on a CD, it allows you to start SUSE Linux from the CD, nevertheless with certain speed limitations, without changing the partitioning of your hard disk before usage.

There is no better way to test SUSE Linux before purchasing it!
By the way: The SUSE Linux Live Filesystem CD also proves invaluable as a rescue CD.

Please note:
Please do not use the SUSE Linux Live Evaluation CD, if your first hard disk is configured as being part of a Promise IDE RAID array.

Unfortunately the Live Eval does not work if you use the RAID functionality that is being used by Promise IDE RAID Controllers like the Promise FastTrak100 and can lead to data corruption - Linux does not detect the RAID array as a single drive and attempts to store the data on the first disk of the RAID only. This seems to confuse the RAID controller and can lead to corrupted data!
