openSUSE 13.2 RC1 Is Out & Still Riding On Btrfs

Following almost ten thousand downloads of openSUSE 13.2 Beta, the first release candidate is out for this first openSUSE release using the Btrfs file-system by default.

The openSUSE 13.2 RC1 milestone is riding on GNOME 3.14, Firefox 32 is the default web-browser, minor updates to the KDE stack, a new version of Plymouth splash boot software, and various other changes. Btrfs is used for the root file-system by default while the default partitioning scheme proposes a separate XFS-based /home setup.

The openSUSE 13.2 RC1 announcement can be read at news.opensuse.org. The current plan is for developers to do the official openSUSE 13.2 release on 4 November.
