| SUSE 10.1 Beta 2 fixes bugs |
Jan. 27, 2006
Just five days after Novell's OpenSUSE project released SUSE 10.1 Beta 1, the company on Thursday unveiled Beta 2, a bugfix version. As in Beta 1, the latest release supports the Intel and AMD x86 and x86-64 platforms as well as the PowerPC platform.
The core system utilizes the Linux 2.6.15 kernel and comes with CVS versions of glibc 2.4 and GCC 4.1, X.org 6.9, KDE 3.5, and GNOME 2.12.2.
The distribution is available via download or on five CDs. Only CD1 is needed for a minimal text installation in English; CDs 1-3 are required for a default KDE or GNOME installation in German or English; all CDs are needed for other selections.
Evaluation versions of SUSE Linux are not time limited, install on hard drives only, and do not come with any bundled support offering. The downloadable CDs contain only 32-bit packages -- the same as in the downloadable 32-bit DVD, the company said.
Further details about the release are available here, and a list of known issues can be found here.
You can download Beta 2 here. The project team asks that if you do download and test it, that you report all bugs you find here.
