Hey everyone, OpenSUSE 11.0 has finally arrived and is available to the public. I am currently downloading it on my home computer and when I get home from the gym I’ll burn it to a disk. I’m not sure if the DVD has a live edition or not, I know they have a Live CD (700mb), but I’m hoping I don’t have to download that either.

I’ll be sure to give a quick run through with my experiences as soon as the iso is burned to a fresh disk. I might try one more distro before I make my final decision. I have some experience with Mandriva and want to try out Fedora (Red Hat) at least once. My brother has a Kubuntu disk lying around somewhere which I might try out to see the differences between that and Ubuntu.

Check back later tonight to see how OpenSUSE is treating me!

UPDATE: Seems as though torrents aren’t working so well to distribute this thing.  After 2.5 hours, I’m still only 20% done (it’s a DVD mind you) but I’m only using about 1/6 of my total internet speed.  I’ll have to wait until Saturday to play with it since I have to work from 7am-11pm tomorrow, ICK!  I decided to download the latest version of Mandriva and Fedora though.  I’ll run through those on Saturday as well since I can’t shut down my laptop while openSUSE is downloading.
