OpenSSE 10.1 'remastered' has been released. "This release combines the 10.1 GM and all online updates that we have released for 10.1 so far, including libzypp, which should make the installing and working experience much smoother for everyone. We have created new CD ISO images and supplied delta ISOs from the goldmaster. The non-OSS DVD images will show up next week, we had to retract and will remaster. If you are running SUSE Linux 10.1 already, there is no need to download these images at all. Just do an update from our update repository to get all our security updates. This remastered media are useful for new installations."

I bought 10.1 retail.
Man that was a disaster.Installing took ages.

initializing catalogs,determining dependencies,selecting sofware,again 5 minutes to initialize catalogs,just before actuall install again initializing the catalogs aaargh.

ZMD still didn't work after all the updates.
Yast keeps displaying the updates although they are installed (10.2 still has that bug).

What difference does a retail linux box make these days?

SuSE should go the RedHat way and abandon the retail boxes.Who want to pay for being a guinee pig anyway?

OpenSUSE 10.1 and Novell SUSE Linux 10.1 are two different, but similar things. Novell has shifted the focus of the commercial SUSE to that of the enterprise environment. OpenSUSE is an independent project.

Ermm..you may want to notify Novell of that. OpenSuse is a Novell sponsored project. OpenSuse is used as the base for Novells Enterprise line, and the key developers for OpenSuse are paid employees of Novell. Why do you think the package manager changed? Because Novell wanted to implement RedCarpet.
