There are 3 versions available of SUSE Linux 10.0

1.) SUSE Linux 10.0 OSS (download)

Free download and 100% open source, so no Acrobat, Flash etc.

2.) SUSE Linux 10.0 Evaluation (download)

The Evaluation edition of SUSE Linux contains some proprietary components such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, RealNetworks RealPlayer, Sun Java Runtime Environment and Macromedia Flash Player.

The "Eval" Edition does not time out in any way If you prefer you can download and use the "Open Source Software" (OSS) edition of SUSE Linux 10.0 that includes only open source components.

3.) SUSE Linux 10.0 Retail (the box)

Adding sources to YaST

Click the Add button, then click on HTTP in the popup menu. Add the following Internet address to the Server Name field and then click on OK:

packman.rsync.zmi.at/suse/10.0

If that repository link does not work, you can choose one of the mirrors from this list .

Now repeat this process and add the following servers to your installation sources using the FTP option instead of HTTP:

* mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java
* mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source
* mirrors.kernel.org/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra

Now you can install:
Thinderbird, Java, Flash, Acrobat, mplayer (windows media), mp3 and real player on any version of SUSE Linux 10.0.
