openSUSE 11.3 has been released

The openSUSE Project is pleased to announce the release of the latest  
incarnation of openSUSE, with support for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. openSUSE 
11.3 [1] is packed with new features and updates including SpiderOak to sync 
your files across the Internet for free, Rosegarden for free editing of your 
audio files, improved indexing with Tracker, and updates to Mozilla Firefox, 
and Thunderbird.

Among these many new features, openSUSE also provides support for netbooks and 
the Btrfs file system support. Users can expect to see improved hardware 
support with the 2.6.34 Linux kernel and updated graphics drivers. And support 
for the next generation of interactive computing for touchscreens like the HP 
TouchSmart.

openSUSE continues its tradition of delivering the popular KDE, GNOME and Xfce 
desktop environments, and now also provides the lightweight LXDE desktop 
environment. With GNOME, you can use the latest 2.30.1 version or take your 
installation for a drive with a preview of the upcoming GNOME 3.0. Or choose 
KDE SC 4.4.4 for the latest updates. They all feature the polish and 
integration that the openSUSE distro has been known for.

For a full view check the complete collection of screenshots [2] or install it 
right away [3]. As we expect very large demand for the ISOs we suggest you 
check out BitTorrent as download method ;-)

For servers and development platforms, administrators can take full advantage 
of the new MariaDB and MySQL Cluster services as well as Conntrack to filter 
network packets for iptables. Developers will appreciate the plethora of tools 
available at their fingertips with GCC, GDB and Mono and IDEs such as 
Netbeans, Qt-Creator and many others. This is all on top of the countless 
libraries available through the openSUSE Build Service [4] (OBS).

The next release will be openSUSE 11.4 in March, 2011. 

Thank you, and have a lot of fun!
