But that explains also different perspectives. I have to judge today what 11.1 will look like - and not what 11.0 looked like.
Yes, and being a developer, that's the case. Being a user is a different playground. The majority of the users may never read these forums, and may only give it a shot and then get turned off by it. Having KDE4 "higher up" on the list MAY have given some the impression that it was better than KDE3 because of the version #. We only have one chance to make a good impression. Do you honestly thing that KDE4 left a good impression on new users? I dunno. I'm not a new user(been using SuSE since 5.3), and I don't know many new users(most of the people I know wouldn't try Linux because it's different and besides, Windows works for them....at least until they have a problem and then they expect me to fix it.....)
A lot of stuff has been done already, see the referenced page.
Yes, but I wish we had tried this track before. It's more productive, but live and learn.
The 11.1 beta3 comes with a LiveCD and AFAIK Stephan did a LiveCD with KDE4.1.0 - but since then many work went into it. I would really suggest to use the 11.0 LiveCD - you don't have to install it ;)
I know that, but a lot of users don't understand that whole LiveCD process. When I offer someone a liveCD, no matter what I say, they don't believe that it won't screw up their windows. My mom is one of those people that still think that AOL IS the internet. She would flip out when I would launch Firefox on her machine after connecting with AOL to get my mail. Lesson learned, don't check mail at mom's..... That's the mentality I have to deal with. No matter how I say that linux is better, no one shows interest, and I lose interest in offering them a better way to do things.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
