I have some good news for folks who have been wanting a version of the Novell Client for Linux for openSUSE. I just put up the announcement over on news.opensuse.org:

We’re pleased to announce the public beta of the Novell Client for openSUSE 10.3. Novell released the packages for the Novell Client for Linux 2.0 SP1 public beta today.

A number of openSUSE users have expressed interest in having the client packaged for openSUSE, so our developers have been working on building the client against openSUSE. Please download the package and give it a try on your systems.

Novell is also working on a package for openSUSE 11.0, though we don’t have an official timeline for that package yet. We will also post an announcement when it’s available, and will post announcements for any further betas or the final release of the Novell Client for Linux.

Joe Harmon, the new product manager for the Novell Client for Linux, has been instrumental in driving this, and deserves a lot of thanks for his work to get this out the door. I know a lot of people have been looking for this, so please grab the RPM and get to testing!

As mentioned in the announcement, we don’t have a hard date for the 11.0 version, but it’s in the works and we’ll be sure to let the world know when it’s available.
