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.

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>
