First look: OpenSUSE 11.1 beta 3 very promising
Novell has announced the availability of OpenSUSE 11.1 beta 3, the latest prerelease of the company's community-driven desktop Linux distribution. It offers some nice improvements and comes with the latest versions of popular open source software programs.
This beta release ships with version 2.6.27 of the Linux kernel, which was released earlier this month and includes improved support for webcam devices and the new ath9k wireless driver. Another exciting recent release comes bundled with beta 3: Mono 2.0, the new version of Novell's open source .NET implementation, which is compatible with C# 3.0 and has improved support for Windows.Forms.
OpenSUSE 11.1 beta 3 also includes OpenOffice.org (OOo) 3.0, which was released earlier this month. As we mentioned in our concise review of OOo, Novell maintains a patch set that is widely used by mainstream Linux distributions because it includes a number of really nice Linux-specific improvements.
