This is an early technical preview (as described by SuSE itself) of SUSE Linux 8.2 for AMD64, labeled '8.2 Beta 9'. It is dated 2003-06-30 and by all accounts, this beta was only distributed through SUSE's FTP. I managed to find a copy of this on an old hard drive my family had. Because of its huge size (It has 9 CD's, as compared to the 5-7 CD's of other versions), it would be a bit unfeasible for me to upload it to a file sharing site. Instead, I will give a link to a mirror which has another copy. I have downloaded it and it is the same as my copy, minus the file dates.
ftp://ftp.bupt.edu.cn/pub/os-images/SuSE/8.2pro/x86-64/
Please note that you can have only one FTP connection open to this server at any time. If you try using 2 or more, you will be autobanned for one hour. (I found that out the hard way.)
