Dear Beta participants,

we are happy to announce the first RC of

	SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4.

ISO images are now available for download now. Please go to
http://www.novell.com/beta and select "View my beta page".
Here you should see all Beta's you are part of.

Note that the directory contains the images for the SDK as well as for SLES.

We offer 3 DVD ISOs: DVD1 contains the binaries, the second
DVD the sources and the third DVD the debuginfo packages. 
The final product will not contain the debuginfo packages on the media.

For installation purposes you just need media 1 for your architecture.

Please verify the md5sum of the ISO using the MD5SUMS file, which can
be found in the same directory on the download servers.


With this snapshot we have reached several milestones:
    o Milestone: All certification tests completed.
    o Milestone: All documentation available (english only).
    o Milestone: All blocker bugs resolved.
    o Milestone: All security updates integrated.
    o Milestone: Freeze cryptographic packages.
    o Official partner acceptance starts.
    o Only showstopper bugs which would break certification or acceptance
      get fixed from now on.

For the next release we are targetting these actions and milestones:
    o Milestone: All translations available.
    o Official ISV/IHV (re-)certification/validation starts.
    o Official partner acceptance continues.
    o Only showstopper and security bugfixes get integrated.



Thanks in advance for all your testing

	Your SUSE Linux Enterprise Team
