I think they're still figuring it out ;-). The SUSE ftp site still says they
don't provide ISOs for Intel/AMD/PPC, for example, even though I've heard at
least once from SUSE that won't be true for 9.1. Long-term, I gather it'll
shake down to Professional being downloadable, and Desktop / Enterprise not
being downloadable.....
