Following some eight months of testing, the openSUSE project has finally released the long-delayed and much-awaited SUSE Linux 10.1:

"After lot of work and several delays, we proudly announce the availability of SUSE Linux 10.1. As usual, we ship all the latest open source packages available at the time. We want to give special mention to Xgl for 3D acceleration on the desktop, NetworkManager for getting painless WiFi access everywhere, the completely open source AppArmor 2.0, and the full integration of Xen 3 in YaST."

Read the rest of the release announcement for further details. At present only the 5-CD sets (and one add-on CD containing non-free software) for three architectures are available for download, with the installation DVD and live DVD expected a week from now. Here is a quick link to the i386 torrent file: SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-i386 (3,299MB). Have a lot of fun!
