Good point...there are no scheduled updates, however the updates are
announced when released and you can probably subscribe to the
announcements on opensuse.org somewhere. beta4 was a milestone in that
the XGL components were included, but the installer is really an alpha
build hence the serious problems with installation and dependencies.
One other point is that the opensuse.org builds are GPL and GPL
compatible code only so you won't find anything that has a non-GPL
component such as MP3 codecs (specific ones that are
patented/copyrighted) and drivers such as the Atheros driver (madwifi is
in there) which has a non-GPL compatible HAL component.
