Version 11 of the OpenSuse Linux distribution was made available on Thursday.
Microsoft, Citrix, Novell and Sun Microsystems all made announcements around virtualisation overnight.
Linux vendor Red Hat has updated its enterprise Linux version with features for big servers and some green improvements. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 includes virtualisation support for bigger systems and more memory architectures.
Novell has released the last public version of OpenSuse 11.0 for testing -- but significant problems still need to be ironed out before the software's final release later this month.

It has competed hard with the likes of Microsoft and IBM, but over the years Novell has remained a smaller player than either of its two main rivals. CTO Jeff Jaffe tells what Novell has up its sleeve to bring the company up to speed: Fossa, an open source project named after the Madagascan relative of the Mongoose.
The idea of getting a robust, scalable operating system for free hasn't clicked with many enterprises -- until now.
