[linux-team] SuSE 6.4 is coming!



SuSE LINUX 6.4 RELEASE COMING EARLY APRIL
Available April 3rd in Germany and approximately two weeks later in the US,
SuSE Linux 6.4 focuses on optimal installation and server support while
offering over 1500 programs.
For advanced users, SuSE Linux 6.4 will be the first distribution to include
a release of XFree86 4.0. "Due to its current instability, 4.0 will not be
installed as a default, but we like to make this software widely available
to the community for testing," explained Dirk Hohndel, CTO of SuSE Linux AG
and Vice President of the XFree86 project. SuSE 6.4 continues providing the
features advanced users expect, including hardware support for advanced
multimedia, such as support for graphics cards with 3D chipsets from Intel,
NVIDIA, Matrox, ATI and S3.
SuSE Linux 6.4 features supporting server systems include: memory to 3.5 GB;
the SuSE Proxy Suite, SuSE's open source firewall tool and FTP proxy; and
the journaling Reiser-Filesystem. Each of these features was developed in
part by SuSE research and the results made available to the Open Source
Community. The journaling file system logs every change to data structures
in the file system, enabling its re-creation within a few seconds after a
sudden system failure (e.g. power outage). "We are very proud to give the
Linux users another stable filesystem. Our installation tool is the first on
the market that allows users to choose either the journaling filesystem or
ext2 at installation."
SuSE Linux 6.4 contains 6 CD ROMs or 1 DVD, a 530-page handbook, Quick
Install Manual and 60 days free installation support (telephone, fax or
e-mail). SuSE Linux 6.4 for Alpha and PowerPC will be released end of April.
SuSE Linux 6.4 will be available at the price of 49.95. Details and further
technical information can be found online at: http://www.suse.de/en
