Software.opensuse.org got a completely new face which improves the downloading 
of the desired openSUSE distribution a lot. It comes with the new look and 
feel  following of www.opensuse.org already.

Additionally we got a really easy-to-use software search and installation 
interface< there as well:

 http://software.opensuse.org/search/

The search is part of the openSUSE Build Service, which allows features like 
limitation of search results to a given base distribution. This does work 
also for Fedora, Mandriva, Debian and Ubuntu distributions, beside the 
openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise distributions.

The interface  provides also a very easy installation featuring the One-Click 
Installation YaST module of Benjamin Weber. This means the installation of 
any package can be started by a single click. YaST will show which 
repositories are used and which packages will be installed; the dependency 
solving is also all done automatically by YaST. There is no need to do these 
steps manually anymore.

Even complete software stacks are installable via that feature, if the 
openSUSE Build Service packager provided a package list in his project.

All openSUSE.org infrastructure is available under an open source license (the 
Build Serivce is under GPL). So feel free to use it also in your company or 
university or join the development of it. 
  We do still have lot's of plans how to extend also software.opensuse.org, 
come to 

  http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/End_User_Frontend

to find out more about it and our future plans.
