openSUSE 11.4 Reaching End of Life, Fast

SUSE Security and the openSUSE Maintenance Team have announced that they are going to stop releasing updates for openSUSE 11.4, in a very short while.

After providing both security and bug fixes for the last two releases and two months, the support for openSUSE 11.4 will be cut off starting November 5, 2012.

This means that the openSUSE 11.4 distribution directory on the server download.opensuse.org will be moved from /distribution/11.4/ to free space on the mirror sites.

The openSUSE project will continue to provide update packages for the following products:

• openSUSE 12.1 (supported until 2 months after openSUSE "Next" release, around May 2013)
• openSUSE 12.2 (supported until 2 months after openSUSE "Next+2" release)
• openSUSE Next (naming is now being discussed) (currently in development, to be released early 2013)
• for the next two openSUSE releases plus a two months overlap period.

In the meantime, you can download openSUSE Linux 12.2 / 12.3 Milestone 0 right now from Softpedia.
