The openSUSE Project recently announced the availability of openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 for wide scale testing and bug squashing. This development release is available in x86, x86-64 and PPC architectures as a DVD disk image (liveCDs are not available for the current beta). The 11.1 beta provides a decently solid look at where the final release is heading. As with any development release, there are known bugs that vary in severity and new or updated features that the development team is encouraging users try out, in order to find and resolve any bugs and suggest changes and improvements.

Stay away if you are using the Intel e1000 video card* (for now). Can permanently damage the card.

Notice appeared yesterday on lwn.net.

* Intel cards not having the "e" are supposed to be safe.

It's apparently a problem with ubuntu and fedora test releases as well -

via a slashdot thread: >> From: Christopher Li >> Andrey reports e1000 corruption, and that a patch in vmware's ESX fixed it. >> The EEPROM corruption is triggered by concurrent access of the EEPROM read/write. >> Putting a lock around it solve the problem.
