openSUSE 11.3 Released
Smartphone support, added cloud support among improvements.
openSUSE.org announced the release of openSUSE 11.3. New to the open source operating system is netbook support, in the form of two new netbook desktop environments.

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.
