A small correction to the headline.:
I think you meant SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional, not 9.2. The current version is 9.2.
Slight correction, Foresight Desktop Linux already comes with Beagle packaged. Novell developed it (great job), but will not be the first to include it in a desktop distro.

ummmm, so where is the link to download suse ? or read about it ?
This will be an added bonus and a real one up on RH.
The 9.2 (pro) which I have been rolling out at work is a great desktop coupled with Star Office 8. User retraining was minimal. We will slowly move additional users over. Now I can deploy 9.3 to the marketing group since they would die without their iPods.
As soon as an ERP/MRP with integrated Accounting and Automation Controll system can be implemented on Linux (SuSe/Novell) it's goodby 90% MS. The good just keeps getting better.
SuSE 9.3 hasn't even been announced yet. I'm sure it won't be released for a while.
And to think I came to this site for real news... not fake news.
SuSE 9.3 has been anounced and it can be preordered today:

Here we go again... Novel Announcing that they are the first to do something that up until now everyone but them was doing. Check it out people. Beagle has been packaged for all of the majors and most of the minor distro's for a long time. *sigh*
I wonder why nobody talks about x-friend.
Although this is not open source (freeware), and still beta, but there is some hope. Maybe it would be better to press over company that makes x-friend to open it. I'm not convinced in c# (beagle is written in c#). I just prefer java since it is some kind of standard.
You guys are all Putz's
