With the sea-salt whiff of
Fedora 16 still hanging in the air, we now have another updated Linux distribution based on the new
3.1 kernel. OpenSUSE 12.1 offers the GNOME 3.2 shell along with KDE, Xfce and LXDE desktop flavors should you prefer something different. There are goodies like
Chromium 17 and
Firefox 7 and improved server side tools including WebYaST, Horde 4 apps and the ability to run on the
Amazon EC2 cloud. The source link below lists plenty more improvements and of course they're all free. Download now and debate the economics later.
