SUSE Security and the openSUSE Maintenance Team have announced that openSUSE 11.4 has been officially discontinued and is now longer supported by SUSE.
According to its developers, openSUSE 11.4 was the first openSUSE distribution maintained using OpenBuildService methods (known as "OBS Maintenance"), allowing full community participation.
The openSUSE distribution is a stable, easy to use and complete multi-purpose distribution.
It is aimed towards users and developers working on the desktop or server. It is great for beginners, experienced users and ultra geeks alike, in short, it is perfect for everybody!
At the end of this month Zonker, our openSUSE community manager for the last two years, will be leaving Novell. On behalf of the whole openSUSE community I would like to take a moment to thank Zonker for all the great work he’s done.

The only hitch I've encountered are a few one-click install games didn't work for me. Alien Arena being one. Other than that, I love this release. If running 11.1, I definitely think it's worth upgrading to 11.2.
The first openSUSE Community Week took place on the 11-17 May 2009 and as an important part of the distribution, the geeko-loving KDE community were actively involved.
Summary: OpenSUSE and SUSE rely on old news and past glory while in present/reality there’s depression of progress
IT has been almost a week since we last caught up with SUSE. There is not much to catch up with really. There’s just OpenSUSE 11.4 promotion from the former community manager of OpenSUSE and Novell employee Joe Brockmeier (the article at least contains a disclosure).
