openSUSE 10.3 is out

Team behind one of the most popular user friendly linux distro announced availability of final version openSUSE 10.3 . Spirit of new version is again back i the green look, but rather take a look below skirt of our new chameleon.

As heart of new distro was choosen pretty new kernel 2.6.22.5, farther glibc 2.6.1, gcc 4.2.1, bash 3.2, core-utils 6.8, X.Org 7.2 and others...

From application side I can mention GIMP 2.2.17, Firefox / Thunderbird 2.0.0.6, K3b 1.0.3 or emulator Wine 0.9.44

From desktop environments you can choose between KDE 3.5.7 with some backported parts from KDE 4 (games and applications for remote administration) and GNOME 2.20.

Distro offers install tool YaST even in GTK version with new 1-click-install technology, direct support of of MP3 (through Fluendo codecs for Amarok and Banshee) or pretty new YaST modules, akcelerated 3D desktop Compiz Fussion, new implementation of virtualization technolgies (Xen 3.1, QEMU), OpenOffice.org 2.3 ...

1-click-install is nowcooperating with relevant web service, so there is no needs to search (due to installation of specific application) non standard repository...

For quick sahring of local files you can use Giver. In comparison with previous version 10.0.2 boot period was cutted for a half.

If you wanna try SuSE distro, you can download your prefered version directly from source.
