Highlights in this Release
KDE and GNOME
* This release contains the very latest KDE 3.5.7 and GNOME 2.18.1.
* openSUSE plans to be among the early adopters of KDE4. As part of this, the currently ported versions of KDE4 games have already been imported into the distribution.
Package Splitting and Renaming
* In order to really slim down a default, base installation, many packages and their dependencies have been altered.
Adding Remote Package Sources during Install
* This release gives you the opportunity to add any additional remote package sources before the installation begins. That means you can select any extra packages you want -- perhaps from the Build_Service or elsewhere -- and have them all properly installed before you begin.
1-CD Installation with GNOME or KDE
* You now also have the option of fully installing openSUSE with a single CD; you can choose a GNOME CD, or the KDE CD, each which provides a complete openSUSE distribution with each respective desktop environment.
Other Technical Changes
* Linux kernel 2.6.22-rc4
* Alsa 1.0.14
* glibc 2.6
