Upgrading to openSUSE 10.3
OpenSUSE 10.3 was released last week, and I quickly downloaded the new version to update my two openSUSE boxes. Here's a chronicle of the updates and some problems that surfaced during the process.
In previous versions, SUSE came on five or six CDs, and downloading so much was a chore. In this release, you can get everything you need by downloading and burning a single CD in either a KDE or GNOME version. (You can also download a 4GB DVD image, which is roughly equivalent to the five earlier CDs.) I visited the openSUSE site, chose my version (32-bit, KDE), and downloaded the ISO image via BitTorrent, using Azureus. I burned the image to disk using K3b, rechecked the checksums, and was ready to install.
The first menu (after a welcome screen in several languages) offers several possibilities, though you will want only Installation. After you press Enter, it loads a kernel and starts its recognition work, displaying a thin white progress line for, on my system, more than seven minutes before the screen with the installation steps appeared.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
