Date:	 Thu, 25 Oct 2001 10:33:45 -0700 (PDT)


Dear SuSE Linux customers and friends,

We started shipping the brand new SuSE Linux 7.3 yesterday! We should
have all of the pre-orders in the mail by Friday, and it should be in
the retail stores (Best Buy, CompUSA, Fry's, Microcenter and Borders by
the middle of next week.

SuSE Linux 7.3 offers high-end enterprise and standard desktop
users advantages in security, stability and a greatly improved ergonomical
user interface with new image, graphics and audio features.

As security becomes a higher priority among home and office users, SuSE
Linux 7.3 responds by offering the possibility of a "Personal Firewall"
straight from the installation process. A user-friendly graphical
front-end allows easy firewall configuration. The resulting security makes
it simple to protect your host or network against unauthorized access.

Furthermore, SuSE's "crypto file system" ensures that
sensitive data is secure even if someone's entire hardware is stolen.

SuSE YOU (YaST Online Update) ensures that the Linux system always stays
up-to-date. Upon request, SuSE YOU connects to the SuSE ftp server and
automatically installs the desired security updates and bug fixes free of
charge.

New improvements for the desktop include KDE 2.2.1, the latest
version of KDE's highly ergonomical user interface.

New print assistant guides the user safely through the protocol jungle of
lpr and cups.

In Linux Kernel 2.4.10 and glibc 2.2.4, SuSE Linux 7.3 provides
state-of-the art Linux technology. Private users will appreciate an
extended range of drivers and improved USB support. The automatic
hardware detection feature has been considerably expanded to include
even more components, i.e. CD writers, Scanners and TV cards, which
enables the setup tool, YaST2, to complete the installation and Internet
connection almost entirely by itself.

Software RAID support
enhances performance and provides reliable protection against data losses.
Linux professionals will be eager to try out the runlevel editor for the
selective activation of server services. For the first time, the scope
includes YaST2 modules for administering NIS servers as well as NIS and
LDAP clients.
