Software-update: Suse Linux 10.1 RC2

De ontwikkelaars van de OpenSuse-community hebben de tweede release candidate uitgebracht van Suse Linux 10.1. Sinds de vorige versie, Suse Linux 10.0, worden alle niet-open-sourceonderdelen standaard niet meegeleverd. Dit zijn onder meer de Sun Java Runtime Environment, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Macromedia Flash Player en onderdelen die hiervan afhankelijk zijn, zoals OpenOffice.org. Deze niet-open-sourceonderdelen zijn apart op te halen vanaf deze locatie. De aankondiging van deze tweede release candidate op de mailinglist ziet er als volgt uit:

I'm glad to announce SUSE Linux 10.1 Codename "Agama Lizard" RC2. We have fixed the majority of bugs from RC1 and will release an RC3 next week.

During the RC phase, we only provide delta ISOs of the media and update the factory tree as well. For details on delta ISOs, please read this.

We've created on ftp://ftp.suse.com (and on the mirrors of it) a repository with some non-OSS software. The same software is also available via two non-OSS CDs that can be used during installation as Add-On Media. There's one media for both i386 and x86-64 (SUSE-Linux-10.1-RC2-Addon-BiArch) and one for PowerPC (SUSE-Linux-10.1-RC2-Addon-ppc).

Please read the complete list of Known Issues here.

Have a lot of fun!
