Novell is offering the "Personal Edition" of the SUSE Linux 9.1 desktop OS for free (via downloaded .iso file).  To get it, visit this website and follow the download links.  You have to register with Novell and fill out a brief survey to get to the download page, but it's a mostly painless process.  There are three downloads:

 

SUSE Linux 9.1 Personal edition .iso file

LiveCD: a bootable SUSE Linux 9.1 "OS on a CD" .iso file

A .pdf Guide to Using Linux

 

Novell is considering all these downloads freely distributable.  At this point, I haven't investigated what the difference is between Personal and Professional editions of the OS, so I'd be interested in other people's comments on this OS.
