I will add one method. If you have a current maintenance support contract, you can download the new release from the maintenance web site.
But since Suse contains Yast, which is not in the public domain, the Suse code isn't in the public domain. But the trial and evaluation copies, which are identical to the production copies, are free, from Suse and they contain some "months" of installation support and maintenance web access. These products are not to be used in production (their wording). But once the trail/evaluation support keys expire, you need to buy a support contract if you want to keep up with maintenance and/or use it in production. I don't think the product will expire and refuse to IPL when the support key expires, but I sure wouldn't want to bet my job in putting something in production that doesn't have some sort of "support" available. Not that you actually have to have a support contract with any flavor. Your management can always assign xxxx number of your hours to manually maintain your system, but obtaining the public domain patches and applying them to your system, and testing, etc. But the cost of making that function a "fundable position" is way more than the cost of a maintenance contract (IMHO).

You must contact SuSE and ask for an evaluation or a trial copy of the software.
