SUSE 5185 Published by

SUSE Linux 10.2 Alpha 1 is now available:

It has one major problem, but it is highly usable apart from that.

* The installation using the GUI interface does not work, please select "Text Mode" when booting from CD media (#183827)
* download of release notes does fail (server side issue)

The difference to SL 10.1 is mainly in version updates in some areas (esp. the YaST package manager and KDE).
