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."

but without the intention of including KDE4 it seems a bit pointless going for an extended 8-9 month dev period on this release, given that it would mean waiting until at least March 08 to get a SUSE 10.4 with KDE4.

It is quite possible that once KDE4 is released, Novell will make it available as an upgrade. It has been the policy of SUSE/Novell for years now.

KDE4 packages are built regulary from the latest SVN sources for suse 10.0 - 10.3/factory for everyone to try. Just add the KDE4 repo from repos.opensuse.org to yast. It's just to early yet to include as the default KDE desktop.
