Phoronix: openSUSE 11.3 Released
As expected, openSUSE 11.3 has been released this morning. openSUSE 11.3 is the latest Linux distribution update from Novell and the openSUSE Project. This release introduces a number of new features, including SpiderOak file sync integration, improved file indexing, support for the Btrfs file-system, graphics driver updates, and many package updates. Available for openSUSE 11.3 is KDE SC 4.4.4 and GNOME 2.30.1, but a preview snapshot of GNOME 3.0 complete with the GNOME Shell is also available...

Have been using it since RC1 and have had no issues whatsoever
Actually I'm also using KDE 4.5 RC and that's also very stable.
Very good job done !!

I'll have to try openSUSE again and see how well it compares to recently released Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring.

Hmm, isn't hal deprecated? So why does KDE still require HAL? This doesn't sound good. Like KDE is more focused on this plasmid bling-bling than getting their core sorted out.Under the hood:
hal is not used in the base system and the GNOME desktop anymore. The KDE desktop still requires hal

Not sure if that still applies to the upcoming KDE 4.5, but at the time KDE 4.4 was released (which openSUSE uses), udev etc. didn't support all the features of hal yet.Originally Posted by monraaf
