Its no longer on IBM site and I've accidentally deleted my download. I had been using LN 8 beta on linux for 2-3 years and now suddenly i have to boot to windows in office as we use lotus for mails. The 8.5 evaluation is time limited to only 60 days so I can't use that. If someone has the beta RPMs i would really really appreciate if you could upload and give the link to me. Thanks in Advance.

I could tell you were trying to make it sound equal, but the whole article was obviously centered around promoting openSUSE over Ubuntu. Personally, I use Ubuntu (I'm on Ubuntu right now) and it works great. Good article anyhow. I chose Ubuntu over SUSE because Ubuntu is light on resources and my computer is very lacking in resources. Specs: Pentium 4 3.0ghz with hyperthreading 1gb RAM. and piece of shit onboard graphics card. And I was originally running Vista 32bit basic. And it SUCKSSS... (and lags. I don't think my computer meets the min requirements for vista) Oh one more thing I forgot to mention. Ubuntu has wubi which is an installer that installs Ubuntu directly in windows like a program. No need to partition or configure your hard drive or anything. And if you don't want it just go to control panel and uninstall. No messing with partitions. So my piece of advice: Ubuntu. It actually is way user friendlier and the easy installation is a lot more than you covered. Just google wubi. (I can be biased too) That was EXTREMELY biased towards openSUSE.
