| SUSE 10.1 RC1 arrives |
Apr. 13, 2006
Following the release of four alpha and nine beta versions, the OpenSUSE Linux project on April 13 unveiled the first release candidate of version its 10.1 distribution. OpenSUSE v10.1 RC1 is made up of five CD iso images for i386 and x86-64 architectures.
Many of the most important problems have been solved, but this release is still not production ready, the team said on the OpenSUSE website. Be sure to read the Most Annoying Bugs page before downloading the RC1 release, the project said. Workarounds for some of the bugs are included.
The release date for the "final" version of OpenSUSE 10.1 has not been set, but it is expected to occur sometime within the next several weeks, the project said.
Some of the key issues still to be fixed include:- Installation of packages from the installation source with rug/zen-installer fails in the installed system. The project has put fixed packages (zen-updater, rug, libzypp-zmd-backend) for this on the FTP server.
- Updating from a previous beta tries to delete far too many packages
- Every update adds another selection to the system
- Installationsources are not available in the system
- The YaST2 Xen module is not able to setup a VM
Novell released SUSE 10.0, the first Novell Linux distribution built under its OpenSUSE community model, last Fall.
