    Hi there!
     
    Attention, this is a complaint, do not read any further if you dislike
    unjustified whinig...

    You have been warned...
    I am trying to locate the 6.4-axp-evaluation/beta.iso file. The only
    place where I found it was ftp.alphalinux.org. Shouldn't it be also to be
    found somewhwere on ftp.suse.com? As much as I like the alphalinux.org
    service the connection is quite slow and I would rather use a local
    download location in europe (in germany to be precise).
    After the experience with 6.1 and 6.3 I am not going to buy 6.4 before
    trying it, as my jensen is not supported... (I do think that SuSE deserves
    money for their distribution, but it has to be usable to some degree...)
    While I am at it, why is there no real german ftp-site of suse (mirrors
    are nice but where is the real mccoy?)? And ftp.suse.com is a bit on the
    x86 side one might complain. For example /pub/suse_update/ points deep
    into intel-land without proper notification to the user or excape routes
    for other platforms (come on, a link ala axp or ppc is not so hard to
    incorporate, given that I mentioned this fact months ago).

    Well that is it for now.
