RC2 for openSUSE 10.3 - ready for your testing

With RC2 we'll start the last testing phase before we release the final version of openSUSE-Education 1.0 for openSUSE 10.3. At this point, we'll just fix the current packages and work on the documentation.

In opposition to the normal release workflow, we updated many packages and even added new ones to the media. Below is an incomplete list of changes with this release:

• all KDE4 packages are updated to 4.0.3
• For the first time, we've LTSP 5 packages (and a pattern)! Many thanks to cyberorg and kiw: now you can easily install a n openSUSE terminalserver!
• NetBeans 6.0.1 was added
• Gambas2 and Tipp10 as well
• With Phun we now have a funny 2D physics sandbox
  
• and with k3dsurf a program to visualize and manipulate Mathematical models in three, four, five and six dimensions.
• iTALC was updated to 1.0.7 and adapted to integrate better in openSUSE
• with wine-doors it should be much easier to install Windows Software on openSUSE
• tuxpaint (incl. tuxpaint-config and tuxpaint-stamps) made an update leap
• Additional packages with new versions:
• clisp
• chemtool
• childsplay-languagepacks
• dansguardian
• fbreader
  
• galculator
• gcalctool
• gcompris
• geogebra
• kding
• kseg
• pauker
• MultiplicationStation
• moodle
• semantik

A detailed changelog can be found here.

As a result of the size, we decided to ship three ISO images instead of one:

• openSUSE-Education-1.0-for-10.3-i386-RC2.iso => for (normal) 32bit PCs
• openSUSE-Education-1.0-for-10.3-x86_64-RC2.iso =>for 64bit PCs
• openSUSE-Education-1.0-for-10.3-SOURCES-RC2.iso => contains the source RPMs (if you don't know what this means, you don't need it

You can find the ISO images in our download directory and also on the SUSE FTP-Server. But you can also add our Online-Repostiory as add on source via the YaST2 Add-on Module. Just use the URL:
