openSUSE 11.2 on the test bench
openSUSE 11.2 is now the second version running to break the tradition of introducing few changes beyond updated packages into minor releases. Like Ubuntu 9.10 in late October, openSUSE has now made the leap to using Ext4 as its default file system and includes changes to the system administration tools and the desktop. Alongside all the major changes, the development team have not forgotten the desirability factor provided by including the latest software.
DVD images for 32 and 64 bit systems are available for installation. Alternatively, two installable Live CDs (with either KDE or GNOME desktops) are also available. The Live CD image can also be used to run and install from a USB flash drive – especially useful for netbooks with no inbuilt optical drive. A network installation image is also available. This loads the installation system and all packages from the online repository.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

Gosh
It sure is nice to see other distros getting some news. How refreshing! Only thing about OpenSUSE from their screen shots it looks like they chose Army green for their desktop?
Ick...
Yeah, it looks like pea soup... Is ugly the new gorgeous? I mean, has Ubuntu started a trend with the ugly desktop? lol
Come on you guys, your gut
Come on you guys, your gut reaction to a distro is the color scheme?! I guess the Linux desktop doesn't have much to worry about. And since when is army green a weird color? What would you prefer, blue?
Looks aren't everything
Yeh, looks aren't everything. It is what's inside that counts. Ugly girls err distros need love too!
I have no doubts about Suse
I used Suse for a good 2-1/2 years and have no doubt about the distro underneath. They typically have excellent artwork. However, making the Air background look like pea soup isn't one of them.
I actually like the color. I
I actually like the color. I guess it's all about personal taste .
I find it to be very sleek.
