What the hell is going on? I don't understand it at all. Are these free? How do you get them?

Novell giving away SuSE 9.1 Pro for free? SuSE has been traditionally a buy it or FTP install it only shop. Then again, alot of things change when you get bought out.

Well, its a ploy to get you to become familar with Novell/SUSE products so you can sell/support them to your customers. But, like the tourist business that gives free or almost free travel to travel agents to get them to recomend "destinations", there will be some folks who just take the free trip.
