The first public alpha release of openSUSE 10.3 is out in the open!

Since the openSUSE 10.2 final release, the most significant changes
are:

* GNOME is moved to /usr. Please do test especially updates from
older distributions.

* KDE updated to KDE 3.5.6.

* Linux Kernel updated to 2.6.20. There's no Xen support enabled for
now.

* Pattern for minimal text install (see the opensuse-factory thread
for details)

* Update of OpenOffice.org to version 2.1.3.

* The whole distribution is build now with -fstack-protector to better
guard against some buffer overflows.

* Usage of LUKS by default for crypto partitions in YaST. Both GNOME
and KDE handle removable LUKS media now.
