OpenSUSE 11.0 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the download-compile-reboot-repeat dept.

Nate D writes "It's here: a new major release of Novell's community-supported distro is now available, and can be downloaded from the mirrors. Linux Format has a hands-on look at the new installer, SLAB menu and Compiz Fusion, and weighs up whether the distro can fight competition from Ubuntu and Fedora. Is this the start of a new era for SUSE?"

    SUSE managed to differ from other distributions in a political sense after Novell acquistion and MSFT deal.

    Now there is SUSE and there are other distros who choose not to be pet of Microsoft. Free choice, guess who wins?

    If you are a fan of SUSE with it's rather fat and full distribution and useful YaST tool, you have probably been looking forward to this.
    For everyone else the momentum is with Ubuntu or Fedora and their derivatives. Would anyone who is not already a SUSE / openSUSE fan take much notice of this distribution tainted as it is by association with Microsoft.
