OpenSUSE 12.2 beta 1 has been released

Jos Poortvliet has announced the availability of the first beta release of openSUSE 12.2: "After a few delayed milestones (the fourth even got cancelled) there have been a few disruptive changes in our Factory development distribution, but we're starting to settle down and announce the availability of beta 1 today. A large number of major changes have finally landed: GCC 4.7, GRUB 2 (status update) and a new LibreOffice. On the graphical side this milestone now features GIMP 2.8 (with single window option) and the latest updates to GNOME and KDE packages (including Qt 4.8.1 and KDE SC 4.8.3, GNOME 3.4.2). Heavy work has been going on in the area of bringing X.Org Server 12.1 and split up X.Org packages to Factory."
 

The openSUSE project is a community program sponsored by Novell. Promoting the use of Linux everywhere, this program provides free, easy access to openSUSE, a complete Linux distribution. The openSUSE project has three main goals: make openSUSE the easiest Linux for anyone to obtain and the most widely used Linux distribution; leverage open source collaboration to make openSUSE the world's most usable Linux distribution and desktop environment for new and experienced Linux users; dramatically simplify and open the development and packaging processes to make openSUSE the platform of choice for Linux developers and software vendors.
