“SuSE is offering its Linux distribution on DVD, the first
manufacturer to do so. With the release of its next version, SuSE
Linux 6.3, expected in late November, users will have the choice
between CD-ROM and DVD.”

“DVD is the storage medium for the next generation. We are proud
to be able to offer the rapidly growing number of DVD users the
alternative of a Linux system on DVD as well,” says Roland Dyroff,
executive director of SuSE AG. “This underlines not only the
technical competence of our developer team, but also makes clear
above all the customer orientation of our company.”

The number, variety and size of application programs for
Linux is continually increasing. Through the introduction of DVD,
SuSE is ensuring that this convenient and user-friendly technology
is also available for Linux.
Together with its commitment to
free sound and graphics support, SuSE is setting the course for its
widespread migration to the multimedia desktop.”
