Linux Distribution Reviews – SUSE Linux 10.0 Beta 3
Aug 26, 2005Linux Distribution Reviews – SUSE Linux
As Novell released their third beta of openSUSE (SUSE Linux 10.0 Beta 3) today I was anxious to get my hands on it. I’m always excited to see what’s new in SUSE’s world as this distro has been on my personal top 10 list for quite some time.
When SUSE was absorbed by Novell many people were amazed and excited, yet a little concerned about the unknown. What would this giant do to SUSE? It seems like it worked out well for the duo as Novell is now frequently talked about as the number two (enterprise) distro, right behind Red Hat. SUSE has definitely not suffered from this merge although the benefits which they have received are not very obvious (besides the bling).
My goal in this review was to do an installation of a large group of packages and window managers and have a good look around at what the first openSUSE will have to offer upon its final release. There shouldn’t be too many more changes as the release is now in Beta 3, but you never know. Each beta has introduced a few new goodies and this release is no different.
