Novell announced today the official release of openSUSE 11.2, the latest version of the company’s open source Linux distribution. The new version, which has been under development for almost a year, brings updated software a handful of noteworthy improvements.

openSUSE is one of the most popular Linux distributions. Although it doesn’t match some of our other favorites in the area of usability, it offers a high level of refinement and plenty of flexibility for power users. Version 11.2 will strengthen the distro’s long-standing reputation for delivering an unbeatable KDE experience. Its GNOME environment is strong too, and has a great selection of default applications.
