openSUSE 11.1 Beta 4 on the charts….
Hot on the heels of openSUSE 11.1 beta 3, the openSUSE Project is happy to announce the availability of openSUSE 11.1 beta 4.
This release includes a number of important bugfixes since the last beta, as well as a few new bugs that need to be squashed before the final release. Read on for details about this release and how to get involved with testing.
WOW. This is exciting and gets even more so. Panel Autohide, Cover Switch, Amarok2, etc on KDE. iPod support on Banshee, etc… A long lost to follow.
What’s changed since beta 3?
Major changes in this release include:
Inclusion of Nomad, a set of components that provide an unmatchable remote desktop experience to openSUSE. See more at: http://en.opensuse.org/Nomad
Timo Hoenig reports that fingerprint reader support is now feature complete, and he’s accepting bugs. The most common fingerprint readers on the market should “just work,” and users can register their fingerprint using the YaST module. Once registered, users can log in using their fingerprint. Console, GDM, ’su - $USER’, gnome-screensaver, and gnomsu should all work with fingerprint support. KDE status is unknown.
