                               SuSE Linux 7.2 Available on June 15th
                    Oakland, CALIFORNIA - 29-05-2001
                    SuSE 7.2 Delivers Added Security and Multimedia 
Entertainment 
                    Today, SuSE Linux, the international technology leader 
and solutions provider in Open
                    Source operating system software, announced the 
availability of SuSE Linux 7.2 for a
                    June 15 release. The latest version of SuSE's popular 
Linux package comes with more
                    convenience and performance for deployment on desktops 
and servers. Building on
                    SuSE's successful launch of 7.1, the newest release 
highlights increased security and
                    extensive multimedia entertainment features.
                    The SuSE 7.2 Desktop, based on the graphical user 
interface KDE 2.1.2, boasts
                    numerous improvements: "Konqueror" combines all 
features of a web browser and file
                    manager into one single tool. Now Konqueror supports 
all common web formats, as
                    well as Netscape Communicator plug-ins for displaying 
flash, RealAudio, and Real
                    Video media.
                    SSL (Secure Socket Layer) constitutes a secure basis 
for banking transactions in
                    Linux. In addition, KDE 2.1.2 is a useful tool to 
perform user-, group-, and
                    company-specific configuration settings. When a new 
desktop look is desired, one of
                    fourteen full-fledged desktop styles can be selected 
with a button-click. GTK themes
                    (Gimp Toolkit) and designs of the latest GNOME desktop 
version 1.4 can also be
                    integrated by choice.
                    Focus on Security
                    Security issues for private users and professional 
users are addressed from installation
                    and throughout the new release. When installing SuSE 
Linux 7.2, users have the
                    possibility of creating a personal firewall with a 
mouse click. Anna Kournikova and
                    other viruses are eliminated with AMaViS (A Mail Virus 
Scanner). AMaViS interacts
                    with all common mail servers. Sensitive information can 
be stored in encrypted form,
                    e.g. on a laptop, preventing unauthorized disclosure 
even in the event of theft. This
                    implementation is powered by the "loop back-mounted 
crypto file system", which
                    provides unencrypted access to data only after 
successful authentication and
                    subsequent mounting of the file system.
                    Unlimited Security Update Service
                    SuSE YOU (YaST Online Update) keeps Linux systems up to 
date. A few mouse clicks
                    are all that is needed to connect SuSE YOU to the SuSE 
server and install the latest
                    security updates and bug fixes free of charge.
                    Big Time Multimedia on SuSE Linux
                    The sound support in SuSE Linux 7.2 has been improved 
considerably. A host of
                    applications is provided for music fans, including an 
MP3 player, a drum computer, and
                    a midi keyboard, and a multi-function editing studio.
                    Power for Professionals
                    SuSE Linux 7.2 offers state-of-the-art Linux technology 
- the advanced Kernel 2.4.4,
                    based on glibc 2.2.2. Administrators of heterogeneous 
networks are provided with the
                    authentication tool Kerberos5, which is popular within 
the Windows realm.
                    Easy-to-use YaST2 front-end installation facilitates 
the configuration of printer
                    subsystems LPD and CUPS and enables toggling between 
the two systems with a
                    button-click.
                    The latest release 2.2 of the Windows file and print 
server Samba is now capable of
                    operating with the Distributed File System by 
Microsoft. The support of Windows 2000
                    workstations in Samba domains and the administration of 
the NT server manager are
                    some of the new features of Samba 2.2. Requested by 
SuSE's customers, SuSE Linux
                    7.2 includes the option to set up ext2 and ReiserFS 
partitions, but also FAT partitions,
                    e.g. for having a shared data pool between Linux and 
Windows. The YaST2 user
                    administration now supports the setup and 
administration of new users and groups, not
                    only in the installation stage, but also when the 
system is up. NFS servers and clients
                    and the LVM (Logical Volume Manager), too, can now be 
administrated easily by
                    means of new YaST2 modules.
                    XFree86 4.0.3 is capable of anti-aliasing, allowing the 
use of smoothed screen fonts in
                    Linux. Just in time for the new currency: Most SuSE 
Linux applications now support the
                    Euro symbol.
                    Installation Support Included
                    From June 15th on, SuSE Linux 7.2 for IA32 will be 
available directly from the
                    manufacturer as well as from bookstores and software 
retailers. The recommended

anche loro iniziano con le versioni a due mesi di distanza - brutto segno!

Veramente sono 4, e comunque siamo nella media, Poi possiamo anche 
discutere di tale scelta ma questo è un altro discorso...
