“What an exciting passed couple of days we’ve had. Mandriva 2006
RC1 and OpenSuSE 10.0 RC1 hitting the mirrors right about the same
time. They are running neck and neck. Who will get their final to
the market first? Mandrake has a history of missing release dates
to fix last minute bugs and OpenSuSE seems to be hitting
theirs–ready or not here it comes. In fact, OpenSuSE 10.0 RC1
actually hit the mirrors a little ahead of schedule this time.
Their roadmap stated to expect RC1 on Sept 9, while the isos are
dated Sept 7. Their dedicated work is showing in the mass of bug
fixes, patches and updated versions. There is no new eyecandy or
features this release. So how is it progressing…?”
