  1. link to i386 torrent by SolusSD · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's the torrent for all 5 CDs (no DVD release, yet).
    This release includes xgl support for KDE and gnome as well as several other nifty features!

  2. xgl is big by brother+bloat · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Xgl/Compiz may be key to the widespread adoption of this release. Because Ubuntu's soon-to-be-out next realease (i.e. Dapper Drake) does not include Xgl by default (although it is available via synaptic), I wonder if people will start gravitating toward Suse in search of nifty eye-candy (especially seeing as SuSe is currently hot on the heals of Ubuntu according to http://www.distrowatch.com/'s counter (to the extent that it can be trusted)...

    Current operating systems (OSX, Windows, Linux) seem to be focusing on (debatably useful) eye-candy. OSX has included some pretty sweet stuff for a while, and one of the main focus points for Windows Vista seems to be the new Aero UI. Xgl is the open source community's answer to all this (of course, Xgl ended up beating Aero to the punch).
