The other major addition for openSUSE 11.3 comes in the form of SpiderOak, a could sync and backup service akin to Ubuntu One. SpiderOak allows 2 GBs of free storage with an additon US$ 10 per 100 GBs.
openSUSE can be freely downloaded at software.opensuse.org. A retail version complete with documentation, installation media and 90 days of customer service is also available.
