September 27th, 2007 by News TeamSome changes in openSUSE 10.3 have ensured that if you are interested in just about any type of popular virtualisation, then openSUSE is the operating system to be on. From Xen to VirtualBox, QEMU and KVM — it’s all available in the new version.

Quickies: openSUSE 10.3 RC 2 Live-CDs, SUSE Linux 10.0 Soon Discontinued, And More
September 26th, 2007 by News TeamStephan Kulow has announced openSUSE 10.3 Live CDs based on Release Candidate 2 which also got synced out – its live installer should still be considered Alpha. The security support for SUSE Linux 10.0 will be discontinued soon, after over two years. The openSUSE Codecs Site went online which will provide openSUSE 10.3 users with hints when they try to play unsupported formats. There is a nice user report about Novell’s presence at the recent OpenOffice.org conference. Marcus Meissner did some observations on how fragmentation can affect package manager speed and added a support database article. Responding to a distribution survey, Pascal Bleser created some statistics about the amount of packages for openSUSE.
New Design for openSUSE.org
September 26th, 2007 by News TeamWe launched the new shiny design for the wiki on Monday. It was a little rough but we sorted out most of the bugs, even the newsfeed is working again :-). Now we have a more unified look of all openSUSE pages, just compare news, download and the wiki. Thanks to all who helped us to make this great redesign!
For all wiki maintainers: please look at Frank’s HOWTO mail on the wiki mailinglist.
