The openSUSE team is working hard on the new version of their free Linux operating system, scheduled for release somewhere in October, very close to the Ubuntu 7.10 release. They are proud to announce today the second beta version of openSUSE 10.3. This beta comes with the latest and greatest Linux kernel 2.6.22.3, GLibc 2.6.1 and an improved YaST infrastructure. Let's have a quick look at the changes compared to the first beta:

￭ Linux kernel 2.6.22.3
￭ glibc 2.6.1
￭ libzypp 3.18.2
￭ Amarok 1.4.7
￭ Banshee 0.13.1
￭ Compiz 0.5.4
￭ Qt 4.3.1
￭ Thunderbird 2.0.0.5
￭ Wine 0.9.43
￭ more documentation and applications on the one CD installation media
YaST infrastructure was improved to allow writing complete YaST modules
￭ Bootloader-related improvements: openSUSE 10.3 will use "chainloader" if it detects additional installations' bootloader code in other partitions, otherwise "configfile" sections will be used (see Call for Testing below!)
￭ improved package lists of 1-CD GNOME and KDE
￭ countless bug fixes in every component

As usual, the openSUSE team urges users to test this beta release and report back through the openSUSE's bugzilla. The areas that require attention are:
