Announcing Tumbleweed Snapshots

The newly announced openSUSE "Tumbleweed snapshots" feature is an attempt to make rolling distributions a little easier for those who don't want to stay on the leading edge all the time. In essence, it keeps a snapshot of the state of the distribution at regular intervals and enables users to install applications from their particular snapshot. That allows the installation of new applications without the need to drag in everything else that may have changed since the system as a whole was updated. "Tumbleweed Snapshots provides the best of both worlds, the latest packages when you want them and the one package you need in the middle of working on a project."
