Anyone got any screenshots to show from the beta yet!? I'm downloading right now.. just wondering what where the biggest changes...

It's pretty much the same as the old SUSE.

The install is a little different with the same install options being available, but maybe not as obvious as before. The install interface is a bit cleaner (less options) to remove confusion for the new user.

Four CDs versus the previous five CD set. I don't recall the Macromedia EULA or Adobe Reader EULA popping up anymore, so they've probably been removed from the default install.

This is about my twentieth install of SUSE, and I finally opted to set the default desktop to Gnome to see what that would be like. I didn't like it so I'm rebuilding again with KDE this time.

Other than that, I'd say it pretty much the same as SUSE 9.3. I didn't need that fifth CD anyway.

Isn't the 5th CD going to contain commercial software and won't be distributed with opensuse but with the retail version?

Now its 5 cds again! check out beta 2! I'm HAPPY

I used it for a while yesterday and its still very buggy, but shaping up to be a good release.

beta2 also has apt4rpm included. The kernel is 2.6.13 and KDE is 3.4.2.

This is why first install with SUSE and I am impressed. Installed and runs great on my laptop with only 256ram.
