openSUSE is a community driven Linux distribution sponsored by Novell. Most of the new technology in openSUSE usually ends up in Suse Linux Enterprise Server and Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop at a later stage.
After eight months of development openSUSE 11.4 is now available for download, with a lot of new features.
openSUSE 13.2 being a much anticipated release just got a minor bump of version .1 but don’t be fooled by that, it is a massive release. openSUSE 13.2 is released with kernel 3.16, GNOME 3.14.1, KDE 4.14 and many other amazing features. I am assuming that you are already running it like me but not able to figure out how to do some of the basic starters or just want to recheck or reconfirm few things.
Unity is a desktop and netbook environment developed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. Unity will be the desktop environment you will use in Ubuntu 11.04 if you use the default installation.
Fedora and openSUSE, two competing Linux distributions, has spent a lot of time and effort trying to get Unity to be included as an option even with them. But according to Fedora and openSUSE it is still too buggy, so they have both decided to stop the project.
Before a Linux distribution is released, the developers stops to include new software. This means that a Linux user may have to live with old software even though there are newer stable versions.
Now, Novell developer, Greg Kroah-Hartman, has announced that the project Tumbleweed will ensure that openSUSE users will get updated software on a rolling basis.
