openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 is now available for download and testing.

Some of the important changes;

Linux kernel 2.6.27rc5.

GNOME 2.24 and KDE 4.1.x will be the default desktop choices. KDE 3.5.10 will still available under the “other window managers” section. I’m not a big fan of KDE 4 yet but for testing I’ll take it for a spin.

Amarok 2.0 Beta 1 for KDE 4 and Banshee 3.1 for GNOME. Amarok 2 is gonna rock!!

IPv6 support. Run in an IPv6 environment and run IPv6 based web servers.

Support for SELinux alongside the Novell’s AppArmor.

Read about the other changes while you download the ISO.

Good news to all Fedora fans. Fedora 9 codenamed “Sulphur” is out.

The new release comes with quite a few new features. To start off. Fedora 9 runs on the latest 2.6.25 kernel. There’s a new package management system included called “Packgeit” which uses Yum for it’s backend. Gnome Desktop 2.22 and KDE 4.03 are the desktop managers to choose from. Firefox 3 Beta 5 is the browser of choice this time and to top it all the new opensource version of Java “OpenJDK” is part of the new features. See the full summary here.

Feel like taking the new Fedora 9 “Sulphur” for a spin? Well, you could grab the install DVD/CDs iso files via bittorrent or direct download. The other alternative would be to download the Gnome Live DVD or the KDE live DVD. Go to the download page.
