    Download openSUSE 11.1

    Hey There...!!

    What is OpenSUSE?

    openSUSE is a general purpose operating system developed by the openSUSE Project. After acquiring SUSE Linux in January 2004, Novell decided to release the SUSE Linux Professional product as a 100% open source project, involving the community in the development process. The initial release was a beta version of SUSE Linux 10.0, and as of December 2008 the current stable release is openSUSE 11.1.

    Beyond the distribution, the openSUSE Project provides a web portal for community involvement. The community assists in developing openSUSE collaboratively with representatives from Novell by contributing code through the openSUSE Build Service, writing documentation, designing artwork, fostering discussion on open mailing lists and in Internet Relay Chat channels, and improving the openSUSE site through its wiki interface. Novell employed over 500 developers working on SUSE in 2004. Novell markets openSUSE as the best, easiest distribution for all users.

    Like most distributions, openSUSE includes both a default graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface option. During installation, the user may choose among KDE, GNOME and Xfce GUIs. openSUSE supports thousands of software packages across the full range of ‎Free software / open source development.

    Re: Download openSUSE 11.1

    The SUSE Linux distribution was originally a German translation of Slackware Linux. The Slackware distribution maintained by Patrick Volkerding was initially based largely on Softlanding Linux System. In mid-1992, SLS was founded by Peter MacDonald, and was the first comprehensive distribution to contain elements such as X and TCP/IP.

    S.u.S.E was founded in late 1992 as a UNIX consulting group, which among other things regularly released software packages that included SLS and Slackware, and printed UNIX/Linux manuals. S.u.S.E is an acronym for the German phrase "Software- und System-Entwicklung" which means "Software and system development", however in English speaking communities a rumour still circulates that the name is a tribute to the German computer pioneer Konrad Zuse, whose name in English has similar pronunciation. Today, however, SuSE does not have this same meaning anymore, as the official spelling is SUSE, not SuSE. Some people still chose to write it as SuSE still. The first CD version of SLS/Slackware was released in 1994, under the name S.u.S.E Linux 1.0. It later integrated with the Jurix distribution by Florian La Roche, to release the first really unique S.u.S.E Linux 4.2 in 1996. Over time, SuSE Linux incorporated many aspects of Red Hat Linux. In a move to more effectively reach its business audience, SuSE introduced the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in 2001, and consecutively changed the company name to SUSE Linux in September 2003 as a part of its overall new branding strategy, as announced by SUSE's marketing VP Uwe Schmid.

    Features Of SUSE :

    • AppArmor: gives certain applications rights based on how they run and interact with the environment.
    • YaST: a system management application which openSUSE uses as a Control Center.
    • Xen, VirtualBox, KVM and Qemu: virtualization software.
    • KDE: a desktop environment (extended with such tools as Kickoff and KNetworkManager). OpenSUSE 11.1 supports both KDE 4.1 and KDE 3.5.10 though the intention is that version 11.1 will be the last release to support the KDE 3.5 series.[citation needed]
    • GNOME: a desktop environment.
    • Compiz Fusion: a 3D desktop that runs on Xgl or AIGLX. Note that the 3D effects available through KWin are enabled by default where 3D drivers are available on the installation media for the graphics card of the system (for example, Intel integrated graphics cards). Since the full NVIDIA and ATI drivers are not (yet) available under an open source license, desktop compositing effects are not enabled by default on systems using one of these graphics cards.
    • Beagle: desktop search.
    • OpenOffice.org: productivity suite.
