OpenSUSE 10.3 comes with anjuta 1.4.2 as default C/C++ development tool for GNOME. However, anjuta significantly improved from that release and it’s now at 2.2.2. This more recent and advanced version of anjuta can be quickly installed (thanks to Jpr, Mw and Sbrabec of the openSUSE GNOME Team, who packaged it) from the openSUSE buildservice using the one click installer. To perform the installation, just click here, look for the anjuta 2 package in the GNOME:STABLE repository for openSUSE, and click on the 1-Click Install icon. Among the new features of anjuta, there are the integration with glade to design graphical interfaces and a new redesigned and improved user interface,…

Welcome to openSUSE 10.3!
openSUSE 10.3 has been released on October 4th and it can be downloaded the download page of the openSUSE site. A summary of the new features is available at news.opensuse.org, and Martin (cb400f) provided more details on his blog It’s some time I don’t see openSUSE so polished and well working, probably since the times of SuSE Linux Professional 9.3. The improvement in boot time is amazing, GNOME is polished and works well, YaST-Gtk integrates better into GNOME and the package manager is finally fast and usable. As I already said during beta testing, great work Geeko! And great work openSUSE team!

A quick look at openSUSE 10.3 beta 2
I have just installed OpenSUSE 10.3 beta 2 on my desktop to see how its development is going on. I used the GNOME 1 CD installation. As usual, the installation was smooth, as I already noticed when I tried alpha 7. All the hardware was properly recognized and configured, with the exception of my Ralink RT 2570 wireless card, which was detected and identified, but was unable to negotiate a connection with my router, when I tried to configure it. However this time ndiswrapper was on the CD, so I was able to quickly set up my wireless card. Installation and updates sources can be automatically added during the…

I have just started a page on the openSUSE.org wiki, which can be accessed by clicking here. In this page further details on the activities of the translation team can be found.

OpenSUSE 10.3 Alpha 7 released
The seventh alpha release of OpenSUSE 10.3 was released, and I decided to try to install it using one of the novelties of this release: the 1 CD installation, which should provide a complete desktop system using a single CD as installation medium. There are two CD’s: one for KDE and the other for GNOME. Being a GNOME user, I tried the latter, which comes with GNOME 2.19. The first evident novelty is the green bootsplash which immediately appears when booting from the CD. The whole artwork, from the desktop wallpaper to the applications splashscreens, has been redesigned and made green, the original colour of SUSE. The installation…
