openSUSE 10.3 has been declared Gold and will now be uploaded to the mirrors and available for download on October 4th - the boxed version can be pre-ordered for delivery shortly after. tuxmachines.org has a late report on openSUSE 10.3 RC 1 with lots of new screenshots. Francis has created statistics about the openSUSE 10.3 bug reporters - half of the bug reports were done by non-Novell community members. Novell is now putting more resources into the Linux Driver Project which offers to write drivers for companies, for free.

By the way,can we see statistics about all reporters?

I have waited a long time for this. I have a Toshiba Qosmio laptop and 10.2 ran well on it, except for some minor opengl driver issues. I can’t wait for the upgrade. Hope the drivers are better, and sounds like they will be.

I’ve been using 10.3 since beta 1 and I have to say things are much better with each new release. I hope the final edition to correct some problems with VirtualBox 1.5. Thanks a lot to the OpenSuse team for another great release!

Do we know if these are the true files? I would dl the delta’s but would hate to find out they were not the real thing.

I have tried most of the major distributions, - for me openSUSE is by far the best one. And it’s getting better and better. Thank you all!

Running 10.3 RC1 right now; THANK YOU, opensuse-friends. Ever since SuSE 9.0 I’ve had no need for any other operating system, nor redmond-based software, though being a professional user. Keep on the good work.

Thanks openSUSE Team!

Every year I look forward to upgrading to the newest SUSE Linux… since version 6.0.

Definitely, open SUSE is the best Linux distribution I’ve ever tried and have decided to stick with it, but like Carlos from Portugal said, open SUSE just need aggressive marketing to spread open SUSE all over the world this community will be the number one.

Running RC1 now. It seems, zypper still does not keep the downloaded packages in the HD! It is one of the features, desperately needed for people having more than one systems and aspiring to save downloading bandwidth.
Hope it is implemented soon. Otherwise, OS10.3 is simply great!!

Two years ago I bought the boxed version of Suse10.0 (before that I bought Suse9.2). I ran into problem when trying to upgrade from 9.2 to 10.0.

My questions is wether it is possible to upgrade my Suse10.0 to OpenSuse10.3 easily and if I have to face serious difficulties when doing so.

Comment by Beineri
2007-10-01 07:53:51

Only the direct upgrade from one version to the next is well tested, with 9.2 to 10.0 or even 10.0 to 10.3 I would expect some trouble.

Beineri:
Then I will furtheron use my Suse10.0 and will buy a newer version with my next computer. The Open/Suse-hackers do a good job, so the 10.0 runs very well. Thank you for your answer.

hi,
im not sure what will be fixed until the official 10.3 start, but i have some troubles with 10.3 goldmaster…
the yast package manegement is faster then in 10.2 but i have lot of dependency trouble, the 1 click install with fluendo doesnt work, language support for german is not 100% ready (some buttons are in english)… nvidia driver for my geforce 7600 doesnt work…

my opinion is, to much rough edges in this final state

im a little bit sad about that, this is not the best open suse ever.

these are the same as published above, and so far the tracker is inactive and there are no seeders found via DHT. I think we have to wait until October 4th, sadly…

dht with azureus works fine for me for those torrent files.

they all have sources. dont know about your setup, but i am downloading and seeding opensuse 10.3 just fine.

I am using the OpenSuse 10.3 rc1 with Deluge as the bittorrent client. Weird… DHT should work just well with it. I’ll give Azureus a shot.

I connected to 11 peers. Nothing is downloading. Can someone make a torrent with a tracker?

Comment by Gavro
2007-10-01 23:10:37

Seeding it via the official tracker (tracker.opensuse.org:6969/announce) with Ktorrent. It looks as if I’m the only seeder (seeding x86_64 dvd + i386 [1 dvd, not CT and MAG –> what are those btw??]).

I tried downloading dvds + cds. But I am able to get a decent speed for i386 cd only. And 0kbps for x86_64 dvd and no seeds for i386 dvd. Hopefully by tommorrow morning I should be able to upgrade my i386 computer. It seems x86_64 cd will take another day. But I have to wait for release day to install all the required software.

That torrent has been replaced btw because it did contain those two. Just wait for the official release day and there will be a tracker and seeder.

Great congratulations to the whole openSuSE developmnt team for the great job done. Towards some users who would like to process to an upgrade, be aware that version 10.3 features a lot of reworks which could lead to incompatibilities between versions.These are mostly solved with a fresh installation.

Again thank you very much, you guys for your contributions to make openSuSE the linux desktop distro.

Keep the work up, OpenSuSE team! I can never find a single distro which can dare to compete!! or even come close.

Seems to me a reward for those of us who had to wait out release delays should be to open up the mirrors early :) Good job guys.

Holy cow to those who can’t wait for the release on the 4th, and are scrounging around for the GM.
