openSUSE 11.3:
Top Features:
It has been a long time coming, but it's finally here! Don't let the version number fool you! The openSUSE 11.3 release features new improved versions of more than 1,000 open source desktop applications. openSUSE also includes a full suite of server software and a rich selection of open source development tools. And as with previous release openSUSE is offered as a retail box available in some shops or to be ordered here.
Netbook Support:
If you use a small, lightweight netbook 11.3 has a lot to offer for you. You will not only benefit from the improved hardware support but also from the two netbook desktop environments this version brings.
The KDE project brings you the Plasma Netbook Workspace that is made specifically for those kinds of devices. It brings a "Search and Launch" interface which provides convenient access to your applications in a beautiful way. Of course it is built on top of a rich internet experience with a lot of mail, micro blogging and social networking.
But that is not everything! The MeeGo project, headed up by Intel and Nokia, develops another visually rich netbook user interface and the openSUSE Goblin team has this packaged for you in 11.3. MeeGo on openSUSE (Code named Smeegol) brings many additional features which include one of the best media enjoyment experiences thanks to the latest and greatest that Banshee offers, and will include the Amazon MP3 store when it is released. It also adds additional social media functionality, including Digg, Facebook, MySpace and Flickr.
