For those waiting to have and test the NCL on openSUSE 11.1 (or SLED11 if you have it), here is the download link for the Beta:

Novell Client for Linux 2.0 SP1 Beta for SLED 11 and OpenSUSE 11.1
For some reason it's not published on the Novell Public Beta site, but so far I have the client working on my 11.1 rig.

Quickest way to get things setup:
1) Download the iso (32 or 64 bit)
2) open a console and elevate to root ( su - )
3) mount the iso ( mount -o loop /path/.iso /mnt )
