S.u.S.E. GNU/Linux distribution is our main development OS.
Indeed, we have already received for free all versions from 4.3
to 7.3. 
Also note that SmartEiffel The GNU Eiffel Compiler is part of the S.u.S.E. 
GNU/Linux distribution. We are grateful to S.u.S.E for being very 
supportive to us. We hope the S.u.S.E. GNU/Linux team will keep up the 
good work, being successful and providing us with free copies of their 
distribution ;-) |
