OpenSUSE 10.3 Alpha1 has been released. "Since the openSUSE 10.2 final release, the most significant changes are: GNOME has been moved to /usr (lease do test especially updates from older distributions); KDE updated to KDE 3.5.6; Linux kernel updated to 2.6.20 (no Xen support enabled for now); pattern for minimal text install; update of OpenOffice.org to version 2.1.3; the whole distribution is build now with -fstack-protector to better guard against some buffer overflows; and much more."

Thom,
Do you know what the reasoning was behind Novell's decision to move Gnome from "/opt" to the "/usr" directory? Is KDE also being relocated to "/usr"? Are they fazing out the "/opt" directory. Doesn't this go against the LSB certification for where packages are installed? Are other Linux distributions such as RHEL/Fedora going to move Gnome to "/usr"?
