OpenSUSE 11.3 hits second milestone, features KDE 4.4 desktop

“The Novell-sponsored OpenSUSE project released Milestone 2 of
its OpenSUSE 11.3, featuring Linux 2.6.33, GNOME 2.3 beta, and a
new network security stack. OpenSUSE 11.3 Milestone 2 also debuts
the new KDE 4.4 desktop, which adds a netbook interface, plus new
tabbing and social networking features.

“The OpenSUSE project, which acts as the community upstream
source for Novell’s SUSE Linux, released Milestone 1 of version
11.3 in late January. OpenSUSE 11.3, which is scheduled for final
release in July, offers upgraded versions of open source software
including Linux 2.6.33, OpenOffice 3.2 Beta4, VirtualBox 3.1 beta
1, and Mono 2.6.

“The release also includes the major new 4.4 release of the KDE
desktop (see farther below), as well as the 2.30 beta 1 of the
GNOME desktop. Live CDs with either environment are now said to be
available. Plans for the upcoming Milestone 3, meanwhile, include
the switch to GCC 4.5.0 as the default compiler, says the OpenSUSE
project.”
