SUSE's latest release announcement shows Novell influence

The press release announcing the upcoming SUSE 9.1, based on the 2.6 kernel, was headed, "Novell Releases First Commercial Linux Featuring 2.6 Kernel." The new version certainly sounds nice -- we can hardly wait to get our hands on a copy -- but what struck us first were several points in the press release itself, including more mention of Gnome than we've ever seen from SUSE before.

We can't all run out today and buy SUSE 9.1; it's not expected in stores until late April or early May. But it sounds like it might be worth waiting for. According to Novell, it runs on both 32- and 64-bit microprocessors, and includes a LiveCD, a la Knoppix or Mepis, so you can test it from your CD drive before deciding to do a full install.
