While you can download a copy of Novell Linux Desktop 9 from our Novell Downloads web site, we recommend evaluating SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (SLED 10).
The same basic skills you learn in the Getting Started with the Novell Linux Desktop course can be used for SLED 10, and you are introduced to the latest Linux desktop technology available.
Is there training available that focuses on the fundamental skills of using SLED 10? From the SLED 10 desktop, you can select Quick Start Tour to access online training that gets you started using SLED 10. These online tutorials are developed by BrainStorm, Inc. If you would like to purchase the entire set, or see what other SLED 10 offerings are available from BrainStorm, check out the BrainStorm SLED 10 web page for additional information.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 - Evaluation Software
You can download a free evaluation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 by going to our SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 Evaluation Download web site, and follow the instructions for downloading the evaulation software.
Because of the size of the SLED 10 installation DVD, unless you have a fast Internet Connection and the appropriate web browser, we recommend downloading and burning the SLED 10 installation CDs (normally the x86 set of installation CDs).
The software is a free 60-day evaluation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, is licensed for limited evaluation purposes, and does not include access to software updates beyond the evaluation period or any technical support.
What if I decide to purchase SLED 10? If you are interested in purchasing the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 product, which includes support and maintenance, you can go to our SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop - How to Buy web site.
