Novell has released the last public version of OpenSuse 11.0 for testing — but significant problems still need to be ironed out before the software's final release later this month.
OpenSuse 11.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) appeared on Thursday, the same day Novell revealed strong growth in its Linux business, strengthening its position against Linux market leader Red Hat.
Features added to OpenSuse 11.0 since version 10.3, the latest stable version, include Linux kernel 2.6.25, Xen 3.2 virtualisation, windowing engine X.Org 7.3, version 2.22 of the Gnome desktop manager, and both versions 3.5.9 and version 4 of the KDE desktop manager.
