[opensuse-announce] Announcing openSUSE 11.0 Beta 2
by Francis Giannaros 03 May '08

03 May '08

The openSUSE team is proud to announce the second Beta release of openSUSE 11.0! New changes include countless bug fixes, as well as the import of the new openSUSE 11.0 artwork for login, splash screens and more. The live installation should work, but there are several known quirks, so be sure to check the most annoying bugs list before proceeding with the live installation. For screenshots and additional information, see the news posting at: http://en.opensuse.org/Screenshots/openSUSE_11.0_Beta2 Remember that this is a beta. It may not be safe to run for production systems, and should be used by users interested in testing the next release of openSUSE for bugs. Most Annoying Bugs =============== Live CD: * Automatic Configuration after boot into installed system behaves weird (Bug #385563, Bug #385558) * Installation leaves traces of Live system (Bug #385829) See the Most Annoying Bugs[0] page on the wiki for an up-to-date list. [0] http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev Call for Testing =============== If you want to help testing our standard test-cases, just take a look at openSUSE.org/Testing, and in particular the Testing:Features_11.0 [1] sub-page which includes a definitive list of the features added into openSUSE 11.0. You can also coordinate with others and subscribe to the opensuse-testing(a)opensuse.org mailing list to help with our organized testing. [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Testing:Features_11.0 Media and Download =============== openSUSE 11.0 Beta 1 for i386, x86-64 and PPC comes as different media sets, all of which can be downloaded from: http://software.opensuse.org/developer Deltas from Beta 1 are also provided at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-Beta2/iso/delta/ Comments, Feedback and Helping =============== openSUSE 11.0 Beta 2 is a great time to start testing-out openSUSE 11.0 before it is officially released. You can directly help and contribute to the openSUSE distribution by filing bug reports and giving feedback to the developers. * Reporting bugs: Please report all bugs you find on in our Bugzilla as explained on bugs.openSUSE.org. * Discussion and feedback is very welcome as well; the most appropriate place is the opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org mailing list. Or in the #opensuse-factory IRC channel. For other queries and ways to communicate with the openSUSE community take a look at the http://openSUSE.org/Communicate wiki page. The next planned release[2] is openSUSE 11.0 Beta 3 on May 13.
