Go to Personal Products, Downloads, Mirror in Your Area. I chose Göttingen,
from the "ftp.suse.com" (it offers mirrors of more distros), suse, then
select your processor platform, then 9.1 for a full distro (9.2 is not yet
available for download.

SuSE have specifically said that they will *not* be heading in same
direction as RH, their Professional product will remain as is, because it
has a strong community of users, which is different to making it a
community project.
