With openSUSE 11.0 out the door, it’s time to start thinking about openSUSE 11.1. The public release of openSUSE 11.1 is scheduled for December 18, 2008, six months after the release of openSUSE 11.0.
The full schedule for the release cycle is as follows:
Thu, Jul 24: openSUSE 11.1 Alpha1
Thu, Aug 21: [...]
In the last few days I managed to install openSUSE 11.0 on more than 6 desktops, helping my friends on setting up the distribution, and on one of them I encountered a strange problem, running KDE 4.0. The problem occurred with the Audigy 2 ZS card, same as the one I have. From forums I [...]
I found a neat feature in OpenSuSE 11.0 which allows a user to use the one-click install from command line. This is really neat because this means you can now script your installations during network installations of OpenSuSE.
Below are a few examples I found here:
Here are a bunch of softwares you can install via 1-click [...]
“This is a very strong OpenSUSE release with a lot of compelling improvements. OpenSUSE 11 offers the best KDE 4 experience out there and will continue to be our reference distribution for KDE testing. OpenSUSE 11 is also an increasingly solid choice for GNOME users …”
First look: OpenSUSE 11 out, offers best KDE 4 experience

“OpenSUSE is powerful, and improvements in usability, performance and stability should attract and win back users from other Linux distributions.”
“OpenSUSE has always been an odd sort of Linux distribution. It’s always been reasonably user friendly, very stable, and quite nicely pulled off the not-so-easy task of being good for new users while offering advanced and [...]
Another one of those days that I look forward to …. yes, openSUSE 11.0 has been officially released.
“Looking at the list of Top500 supercomputers, we find that 20 of the top 50 run SUSE Linux. This ratio extends to the entire Top500 – around 40% run SUSE.”
If you have never heard of this distro, as [...]
With openSUSE 11.0 the installation of ATI and nVidia video cards drivers is just 1-click away, no manual configuration of xorg.conf is required. Same is true for switching on Xgl, if you are using ATI card and prefer it over AIGLX, to get Compiz running, just launch simple-ccsm and enable compiz, once the driver is [...]
When it comes to package management, openSUSE had some trouble in the past, but with 11.0 on the horison, get ready for the ultimate flexibility, speed and ease of management. Now you have the following options, when it comes to installing packages:
Using YAST
Using zypper
Using the rpm command
Using 1-Click Install
Install with YAST from custom installation repository

As after being announced on March 11, 2008, official openSUSE forums has been established and is now online, providing better support for openSUSE community from June 09, 2008.
Forums merges 3 existing openSUSE forums (I am registered on all 3 of them):
suseforums.net - “You will find read only archived threads and posts from this forum, [...]
Both the Qt (KDE) and GTK (GNOME) versions of YaST have seen several changes, and in particular there are improvements to both package manager front-ends. Integration with PackageKit now means that there is a clearer view of all the package groups, with icons to distinguish them quickly:
The patterns view has also been improved:
The GTK front-end [...]
For openSUSE 11.0, Stefan Dirsch and the rest of the openSUSE Xorg team has worked hard to ensure that AIGLX is enabled by default for all supported hardware. This means that you can run Compiz or other desktop effects such as those in KDE 4 without having to directly enable Xgl or edit xorg.conf manually. [...]
For users new to Linux, the supported version of openSUSE may be the best choice—you’ll get complete end-user documentation, installable media for x86 and x86 64-bit systems, plus 90 days of end-user installation support.
It was quietly put up on the Novell store front page but openSUSE 11.0 is now available for pre-order! The last version [...]
