[08-21-08 16:06]: Its sad, really, that Opensuse has given themselves another black eye with KDE4 so close to the scabbing over of the self inflicted wounds they got when they revised the package management in 10.1.
What is really sad is your spreading of f.u.d. due to your misconception of the basis KDE4 was provided, as a work in progress, not a nuts-and-bolts replacement of KDE3.
Please stop with the fud!
He makes perfect sense.
During install you are presented with a very simple list with gnome at the top, then kde4 then kde3 then others.
There is no indication that the normal user should by default avoid kde4 because it's a work in progress. If it was provided on that basis then it should not be plastered on that dialog at all let alon in a position superceding kde3. It should be tucked away in the other/advanced options dialog that requires another click to burrow in to even see it.
When I installed 11.0 three weeks ago it clearly stated in the simple list that if I wanted a stable kde to choose kde3 (that was in the comments for kde4).
Did that change in the newer install screens? If it did, it really should be placed back in and maybe even underlined or in bold type. vince As of about a week ago it clearly stated that KDE4 was not mature. Not to feed
