Can anyone arrange one set of OpenSUSE 10.2 Distribution CD's? I need it for testing purpose.
Are u aware of the licensing - actually patent - issues. Any one redistributing to you will be in violation of Novell's patent deal with M$. M$ has the right to sue you and any other free-beer downloaders and users of the distro. Download at your own risk.
Are you sure? Since he is asking for *OpenSUSE* and not SLES, what you are saying may be incorrect. Please refrain from FUD. :-)

"The Software is a collective work of Novell. You may make and use unlimited copies of the Software for Your distribution and use within Your Organization. You may make and distribute unlimited copies of the Software outside Your organization provided that: 1) You receive no consideration; and, 2) you do not bundle or combine the Software with another offering (e.g., software, hardware, or service). The term "Organization" means a legal entity, excluding subsidiaries and affiliates with a separate existence for tax purposes or for legal personality purposes. An example of an Organization in the private sector would be a corporation, partnership, or trust, excluding any subsidiaries or affiliates of the organization with a separate tax identification number or company registration number. In the public sector, an example of Organization would be a specific government body or local government authority."
