openSUSE is widely recognized as one of the most visually appealing Linux distributions. About two weeks ago, openSUSE 11.0 Beta 3 was released, and over 700 bugs were fixed in this version. After going through three beta versions and continuous improvements in openSUSE 11.0, we now welcome the release of openSUSE 11.0 RC1. In this RC1 version, additional bugs have been fixed, and some software packages have been updated. The final version of openSUSE 11.0 will be released on June 19th this year.
