Sorry for the short announcement. We have now launched openSUSE and released SUSE Linux 10.0 OSS Beta1 to the public. We support as usual 64-bit x86-64 (AMD64 and EM64T) and 32-bit x86 systems. All ISOs and FTP trees have been synced out. The ISOs do not contain sources, they are only part of the FTP tree inside the "inst-source" directory. Please note that the OSS edition of SUSE Linux 10.0 do only contain open source software. Therefore java and depending packages are missing atm. This does also include OpenOffice.org for now. We do definitively not want to lock out the open source Java community, so we decided to offer these with an extra YaST installation source on our server ("inst-source-java" directory). OpenOffice.org does live there also. This package repository can be added in the YaST "Installation Source" manager as additionally source. General download instructions and mirrors can get found on this page http://opensuse.org/index.php/Download Have fun and keep in mind to read the "most annoying bugs" page before your download ;) http://opensuse.org/index.php/Bugs%3Amost_annoying_bugs Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
