openSUSE 11.1 Alpha 1 Released

[deanjo]

From the mailing list:

Hi everyone,

openSUSE 11.1 Alpha1 is available -- but beware, this is an Alpha with very
rough edges!

While testing this on a Thinkpad R51, the system didn't boot after first
stage installation. We are still looking into this issue (#411937). In
addition to that, the default GNOME installation will complain about a
missing package (providing gnome-session-branding)[1].

With the current bootloader issue, using the DVDs for installing is not
recommended, until we have a workaround. Please try the LiveCDs instead!

I feel the pain

Opensuse was a great distro in my book but the latest versions have proven impossible to install over my usb dvd-drive. Until the hardware support improves I'm out of the suse game I'm afraid.
