openSUSE 10.3 Alpha 2 has been released:
I'm glad to announce the second public alpha release of openSUSE 10.3.
openSUSE 10.3 Alpha2 is an important milestone for us since it is an installable release so that everybody doing development in the last weeks can double check that their changes not only work in their own environment but also in the complete distribution. It also shows us the state of STABLE so that everybody should be able to use STABLE as basis for their work.
