Last evening, February 1st, Henne Vogelsang announced that the first milestone of the upcoming openSUSE 11.3 operating system was available for testing. This first development version is distributed as a KDE4 and GNOME Live CDs for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. It contains bleeding-edge packages, such as Linux kernel 2.6.32, GNOME 2.29.5, KDE SC 4.4 RC1, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.0, Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0.1, OpenOffice.org 3.2 Beta 4, VirtualBox 3.1.0 Beta 1 and much more (see below for details)!

"This is the first step toward the next openSUSE release. The most important goal of this first milestone is to test the build interactions between newly added features in openSUSE Factory, also known as 'get the snapshot to build.' It is in no way feature complete or ready for daily usage. There is no code freeze for any component yet, so many major changes are still to come." - Henne Vogelsang said in the official release announcement.
