Notes from the Field: openSUSE 11.1 Alpha 1
openSUSE officially announced the start of 11.1's development cycle with a drop of alpha 1. What follows are some quick notes taken after booting into the KDE Live CD version. Note that this is indeed an alpha 1.
Booting
Miracle of miracles, openSUSE booted from my NEC DVD R/W ND-2510A drive. Versions from 10.3 and 11.0 have refused to boot from the NEC, forcing me to remember to use the older Lite-On LTC-48161H as the boot device. But this time it booted up to the desktop without a hitch.
Desktop
I booted the KDE version, which means I booted KDE 4.1 RC1 (see My Computer at the bottom). The latest versions of KDE 4.1 are not quite the horror of KDE 4.0. There's a lot more polish evident in the operation of the applications, and little quality touches are beginning to show.
