In download:

openSUSE only supports PCs with 32Bits and 64 Bits.

Does this mean that I can stop looking for a PPC distribution?

openSUSE Factory is still being built for PowerPC and I am typing this
on a PowerMAC G5 from the current status of this tree.

We will probably not making a 11.2 release, but you can continue
to track Factory if you want.

Ciao, Marcus

That's not good news. How are support and updates going to be handled
if there is no release? I've been wanting to try 11.2 on my G4 and
not having a release is something I wasn't expecting.

How is PPC going to be handled from now on?

I assume the proper procedure is to use the net install cd from
http://powerpc.opensuse.org/factory/iso/
