The first beta version of openSUSE 11.0 was launched yesterday and it comes packed with some important updates, such as KDE 3.5.9, KDE 4.0.3, GNOME 2.22.1.
Beside the updates, openSUSE 11.0 Beta comes with a professional looking installer, faster package management and installable live CDs, features that were introduced in the previous release. Below are the most important changes since Alpha 3:

• New package management solver and meta-data: the package management stack of openSUSE, libzypp, has seen constant improvements since the last release;
• 24 minutes installation: Due to changes within the installation media itself and the advances in openSUSE’s package management, an openSUSE installation is now well over 60% faster, completing in roughly just 24 minutes;
• Updated NetworkManager 0.7 SVN;
• RPM payload switch to LZMA, which will result in smaller RPM packages and faster installation of them;
• DVD uses images for installation.
