openSUSE 13.1 is a major new version of one of the oldest and most popular Linux distributions available today. This is the best that free and open source has to offer, with thr green touch: stable and awesome. This release did benefit from the improvements to the testing infrastructure and much attention to bug fixing. While a combination of over 6,000 packages supporting 5 architectures can never be perfect, but this is perfect.
