OpenSUSE Struggles with Hardware Problems

Although problems continue, openSUSE does now have some minimalistic package sources in place that will at least enable the transfer of security updates. According to a post by Peter Poeml on the openSUSE Factory List, repairs can take some days.

The openSUSE Project has suffered continual hardware problems and download.opensuse.org, for example, still suffers from a shortage of disk space, which is the reason for the lack of backup data. The project is keen to find sponsors for a new/second storage array.
