openSUSE 10.3 RC1 Released!

Dark Star · 20-09-2007, 06:17 PM

After quite a few rebuilds and testing, the openSUSE team is happy to announce that RC1 looks brilliant and is now available for download. We consider this release to be feature complete, stable, and suitable for testing from any user. For more information on the release schedule.

libzypp 3.24
Virtualbox 1.5
OpenOffice.org 2.3RC3
Countless bug fixes in every component: 535 bugs RESOLVED/FIXED
485 packages submitted

Bugs FIxed :-

Online update opens an annoying popup with the progress. We’ll prepare an online update for it, so it will only affect the first update (Bug #326247)
On some machines we have problems with the kernel and ACPI - investigating, more data would be helpful
GNOME is not yet final - we will update this right after RC1 and prepare a RC2. This one will be made internally, but you can get the update through Factory
32bit PPC machines have a problem with dependencies that try to install 64bit RPMs.
Check this for updated bug report : http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_10.3_dev

As usual, the openSUSE team urges users to test this beta release and report back through the openSUSE's bugzilla. There is no focus area, so please use the product and file bug reports as if it was final and you wanted to use it for real.

Thanks Shashwat for the info.
One query: is it better than Ubuntu Feisty?

Dark Star · 20-09-2007, 06:35 PM

Well I hate it !

My experience with truth

[open Suse] was bad.. Can't mount HDD.. no media codec.. .rpm baffled.. can't go reso. higher than 1024x768

We are debian'ians

[xubz] · 20-09-2007, 06:49 PM

Well, SUSE is good if you want a KDE centered Distro, but as Shashwat said, you're better off with Ubuntu/Debian if you don't want to annoy yourself to get everything work the way YOU want!

SUSE, Gentoo (!!), Fedora are for experienced users/those who want to timepass configuring/learning how to 'Play' with Linux

infra_red_dude · 20-09-2007, 06:54 PM

thanks for the news shashwat. btw, i seriously think you should take up the job as OSS reporter in various fields. check out each of the sites. all ur posts are very neatly formatted

praka123 · 20-09-2007, 07:01 PM

suse definitely lure new users with eyecandy.but...even with yast or yum or repositories... rpm sucks!suse can easily win market if they shift to apt & dpkg .deb.
just reading man rpm vs man dpkg give how debian is forefront reg package management which indeed must be easier for end user.unfortunately rpm fails.
a casual user may want Ubuntu as the distro of choice.but 'wise guys' look at screenshots later to find the annoyances of rpm.

infra_red_dude · 20-09-2007, 10:35 PM

shifting from rpm to deb wud be a mammoth task for novell!

praka123 · 21-09-2007, 12:25 AM

^infact novell/suse buildserver does provides .debs afaik

aditya.shevade · 21-09-2007, 01:05 AM

Only if Novell made the move from rpm to deb... there will none stopping them.... Waiting eagerly for 4th Oct now... not long... I want it on digit Nov DVD.
