It is time to catch up with some of the progress made at Novell, so here are a few noteworthy items from around the Web.

The first is a review of the latest OpenSUSE. It is a positive one.

OpenSuse 10.3 has what it takes to be a great distro not only in home use but also in an office use. Its YaST Control Center is an extremely powerful tool that is more powerful than even Windows’ Control Panel.

OpenSUSE has some new installation videos set up in a new page and Lnux.com reviews openSUSE's SCPM.

With SCPM, you can manage several different profiles and use your laptop in multiple locations without any hassles or delays. The online documentation may be incomplete, but the Web site has enough information to help you get optimum results.

You may have already read about KDE Four Live, but in case you have not, here is some of the most recent information.

This version has KDE 4.0 Beta 3+ (mostly 3.94.1 snapshot) packages from the KDE:KDE4 build service project engrafted on openSUSE 10.3 (if you find your way within YaST you can turn it into a full openSUSE 10.3 installation)

KDE 4 Live CD is indeed built on top of OpenSUSE and here is a screenshot tour from Roland Wolters. It contains explanatory text as well.

While I had some trouble testing the newest KDE 4 Beta release on my test machine, the KDE Four LiveCD works surprisingly well. According to Stephan the version used on this LiveCD is KDE 4 Beta 3 plus a set of recent patches.
