Novell to release updated SUSE Linux in July
Novell officials have confirmed a release later this month of SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, just one month after the company unveiled a free public preview of the software. The preview was the first opportunity many users had to test Novell's commercial version of the openSUSE desktop environment.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10's upcoming release will include advanced Beagle search and numerous enterprise-level software packages, including OpenOffice 2.0, Exchange-compatible mail client Evolution 2.6, the Firefox Web browser and instant messaging client Gaim 1.5. But its biggest allure, according to longtime Novell product tester Brad Staupp, may be its graphical accessibility.
