SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha3 is ready, since our mirrors are still syncing, I've only uploaded the torrent files to ftp.opensuse.org. Everything else will go online at 11am UTC on friday. New significant changes in 10.1 Alpha3 since 10.1 Alpha2: Further details are - and ongoing changes will be - documented at http://www.opensuse.org/Factory-News . Known issues: * The distribution identifies itself as "10.0.42 Alpha3" - and has in quite a lot places the 10.0 branding. This is a known feature;-) * Due to the upgrade of the mono core to 1.1.10 some mono packages did not build and since they require the previous mono version, they cannot be installed. The affected packages are banshee and f-spot. * Internet test will not work since downloading to patches is not setup. * wpa_supplicant does not work with madwifi based cards, like Atheros chips. NetworkManager also seems unable to access such cards. For Atheros cards, read also http://www.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs#How_to_use_Atheros_WLAN_devi... * powersave dies directly, get updated packages as documented on the "Most Annoying Bugs" page. Note: Alpha3 will be followed by Alpha4 in four weeks, Alpha3 is not supported and we advice to not use it on production systems. Please report bugs in http://bugzilla.novell.com .
