SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha 2 is ready for testing. New significant changes in 10.1 Alpha 2 since Alpha 1: * New experimental libfontconfig It contains bug which is causing segmentation faults in all KDE and Gnome applications after update/installation. You need to workaround this by calling "fc-cache -f" as root. (#128080) * APT successor SMART is provided in the smart rpm package. It can be used like apt-get using apt or YUM package repositories (all inst-source directories contain YUM meta data) * Update to KDE 3.5 Beta 2 * Update to Gnome 2.11.1 * Update to OpenOffice.org 2.0 RC 3 Note: Alpha 2 will be followed by Alpha 3 in four weeks, Alpha 2 is not supported and we advice to not use it on production systems. It has only gone through minimal testing on our side. Please report all bugs according to http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Submit_a_bug This time we have made a tri-arch (i386, x86_64, ppc) ftp tree. We will release next week 10.0 Final with a tri-arch ftp tree as well if no issues are found with this 10.1 Alpha2 tri-arch tree.
