After quite a few rebuilds and testing, the openSUSE team is happy to announce that RC1 looks brilliant and is now available for download. They consider this release to be feature complete, stable, and suitable for testing from any user.

​

  • libzypp 3.24
  • Virtualbox 1.5
  • OpenOffice.org 2.3RC3
  • Countless bug fixes in every component: 535 bugs RESOLVED/FIXED
  • 485 packages submitted

​

Bugs FIxed :-
  • Online update opens an annoying popup with the progress. We’ll prepare an online update for it, so it will only affect the first update (Bug #326247)
  • On some machines we have problems with the kernel and ACPI - investigating, more data would be helpful
  • GNOME is not yet final - we will update this right after RC1 and prepare a RC2. This one will be made internally, but you can get the update through Factory
  • 32bit PPC machines have a problem with dependencies that try to install 64bit RPMs.

    Check this for updated bug report : Bugs:Most Annoying Bugs 10.3 dev - openSUSE
As usual, the openSUSE team urges users to test this beta release and report back through the openSUSE's bugzilla. There is no focus area, so please use the product and file bug reports as if it was final and you wanted to use it for real.

Looks like i'll have to reinstall both my GNU/Linux distros and replace it with OpenSuse 10.3 and Ubuntu 7.10 in october.
 
Well I would like to go fedora way rather than going open Suse way ... Bad experience with 10.2 :|

suse definitely lure new users with eyecandy :rofl: .but...even with yast or yum or repositories... rpm sucks! So as Suse :@
 
@Darkstar: I meant the direct HTTP links to the ISO, those are torrents, but I guess they dont serve them anymore due to bandwidth issues.
Have to agree with you on yum and rpm, using ubuntu mostly because of synaptic.

I agree with u....I've used Suse for close to 4 years and i've never had a bad experience with it..infact i think Suse's Yast is one of the best system manager and package installer/updater among all the distros...Suse was one of the first distros to come completely loaded with moderate to high end graphical softwares..no doubt, it was the first choice among the CG ppl..nowadays, most distros come preinstalled with all tht stuff, but Suse will always have the distinction of being the first to come out with the best open source graphic packages..;)

I may not be using it anymore as i'm on Sabayon atm, and too lazy to reinstall, but yeah, Suse is a very good distro..it always has been...:)
