SUSE Linux 10.2 Alpha 1 is available It has one major problem, but it is highly usable apart from that. * The installation using the GUI interface does not work, please select "Text Mode" when booting from CD media (#183827) * download of release notes does fail (server side issue) The difference to SL 10.1 is mainly in version updates in some areas (esp. the YaST package manager and KDE).
