openSUSE 11.0 Beta1 is out since 2008-04-18 - you can grab a live CD version for KDE or GNOME over at http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version#Downloads - see also: http://news.opensuse.org/

Probably the best feature of 11.0 is the vastly improved speed performance of package management, thanks mainly to changing the libzypp package. `zypper install package` or `zypper search package` is rocket fast compared to openSUSE 10.3.

As always, KDE users get a polished KDE4 or KDE3 desktop.

The latest 2.6.25 kernel makes life a bit easier for many wlan card users, as the latest rt2xx drivers (along with many other wlan drivers) have been directly integrated into the kernel - no more messing about with compiling kernel modules.
