I assume you did not see my post above on the factory mailing list.
I have, but while I try to contribute to openSUSE as much as possible, end user support is nothing I generally can provide, especially when I am traveling and do not have a test machine available.
While I am an end user, not a Linux Developer, I have contributed to the testing of openSUSE10.3. I have also had prior experience testing IBM system software. I found WHILE TESTING Alpha3-KDE install I could not select KDE3 in place of KDE4. You implied I could - "Why couldn't you go to 11.0 but stick to KDE 3.x " I simply asked you how. In this thread we were talking about ALPHA3 TESTING of openSUSE 11.0 on the FACTORY MAILING LIST so I fail to see why you raised the 'end user' label. Surely the point of COMMUNITY testing is to help produce a product that is ready for ALL users.
openSUSE is a community project, and much depends on volunteers there even if Novell is sponsoring very significant amounts of effort.
I am one of many people keen to help with Alpha/Beta testing. If Novell only wants input from experienced Linux developers PLEASE SPELL THIS OUT ON THE FACTORY MAILING LIST AND IN http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Participate --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
