openSUSE 11.0 is getting good reviews — and it’s not even released yet! We put out openSUSE 11.0 beta 2 last week, and it’s already being looked at by the press. Ryan Paul over at Ars Technica has some nice things to say about how openSUSE 11.0 is shaping up:

There are a lot of things to like in openSUSE 11 and it will make a good choice for many users—it is already shaping up to provide better PulseAudio integration and stronger desktop search capabilities than Ubuntu, for instance. OpenSUSE also has excellent support for KDE 4, which is why we have used it as our reference platform for KDE testing and reviews.

He also has several good screenshots for the more visual types.

I haven’t had a chance to bang on the beta much yet, but when I get home from CommunityOne Tuesday, it’s at the top of my list. I think it’s time that the ThinkPad move over to the beta full time.
