GNOME and full time OpenOffice.org developer Michael Meeks was invited by ‘People of openSUSE’ to an interview, and here are his answers!
A blogger who is rather popular within the LXer community took OpenSuSE 10.3 for a spin and his impressions are not too bad.
It was decent enough, but too many annoying glitches kept popping up, such as the Amarok update that refuses to either install or be removed from the update list. The setup confused me initially as well. Note that a 3 out of 5 score indicates a very decent system. Yes, I am setting the standards pretty high.
Michael Larabel (of Phoronix fame) took OpenSuSE 11.0 Alpha 2 for a spin and posted some screenshots as he regularly does.
For KDE users, Alpha 2 has integrated KDE 4.0.1 which replaces the KDE 3.5 branch for this desktop Linux distribution.
Over at Linux Magazine, the inclusion of KDE 4 (see above) gets a mention.
The biggest change to the second alpha version of Opensuse 11 has to be the inclusion of KDE 4, which now replaces the older KDE version 3.5.8.
Francis Giannaros gives the news from OpenSUSE's point of view in his latest newsletter.
Issue nine of openSUSE Weekly News is now out! You can read it in
English[0] or German[1].
In this week's issue:
* openSUSE 11.0 Alpha 2 is out
* openSUSE Membership Now Open for Applications
* Hackweek Part II this week at SUSE
* In Planet SUSE: Lightning-fast package management for 11.0,
Command-line 1-Click-Install
* Upcoming: FOSDEM
Novell carries on with its hackweeks although this latest one should now be over. Ubuntu has one too ("developer week" is what they call it).
Glancing over at Xandros, which can be accused of the same sins as Novell's, here is its derivative from ASUS running on the Eee PC, which we have neglected to mention for quite some time.
No Linspire news in recent weeks. Nothing from Turbolinux in almost a month. ⬆

Not everything containing the word 'week' is the same, those two are quite different.
If the election is run by platforms that have back doors "baked-in" and if the communications are overseen by GAFAM, you would not have to be a "nutty MAGAt" to dispute the outcome
"It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares, and therefore is an example of psychological projection, or hypocrisy. Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoque logical fallacy."
The big news of the week is quite arguably Novell's new acquisition (the second being SCO returning from its grave). But let us start with OpenSUSE.
