Hi, I am newbie in OpenSUSE. Several days ago I Installed openSUSE using openSUSE 11.2 Installer (net) through my vista.

openSUSE 12.3 preview 22 weeks 2 hours ago

openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 2 was released two days ago, a month after Milestone 1 was released. The final edition, openSUSE 12.3, is not expected until around the ides of March 2013, so a milestone release offers a good opportunity to see what goodies will be on the final version.
