While most of the desktop Linux community's attention is on
Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon that is being released in just two weeks, today marks the release of OpenSuSE 10.3. While the announcement will be officially made anytime now with the ISOs being available from their FTP server, among its updated packages are OpenOffice.org 2.3, VirtualBox 1.5, and GNOME 2.20.0. Among the new innovations in OpenSuSE 10.3 include a new Novell updating applet, redesigned network card module, and OpenSuSE community repositories. More is available at the
OpenSuSE website and the announcement will come through the
opensuse-announce list.
