SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 Public Release Candidate 2!

Our Public Release Candidate 2 for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 is finally available!

SLE 15 SP2 Major Themes

If you are wondering what are the Major Themes for SLE 15 SP2 development and the Notable Changes compared to SLE 15 SP1, we highly recommend you to check out our dedicated Public Beta web page for SLE:

• SLE 15 SP2 Major Themes
• Notable Changes since SLE 15 SP1

NEW Download page

The former https://download.suse.com has now been replaced by https://www.suse.com/download/.

You can find SLE 15 SP2 Beta Full and Online ISOs Media1 and Media2 + JeOS and Vagrant images directly from https://www.suse.com/download/sles.

Thanks to the Unified Installer introduced with SLE 15, you only need a SLE 15 SP2 Full or Online Media1 ISO to install all SLE products (SLES, SLED, SLEWE, SLEHA, SLEHPC, SLES for SAP and SUSE Manager).

Media1, Media2 and Media3

As a reminder Media1 contains the binaries (usual installation ISO), Media2 contains the sources and Media3 which contained debuginfo packages is _not_ provided as ISO image anymore but still available as Online Channel.

Thus we are kindly asking you to request a Beta Registration Code and register your system to retrieve any needed debuginfo packages.

Known issues

Please note that SLE 15 SP2 Beta is, as of now, only available in the english version of suse.com/download! and only under the SLES product. This is a known issue and we are working on a fix, please change your Language setting to English in the meantime.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, please contact us at beta-programs@lists.suse.com if you have any issues!
