Even if he doesn't *I* do.  I use KDE 4.2.1 on openSUSE 11.1 every day on my 
laptop at work.  I print to network printers over my WPA-PSK connection.  I 
suspend, hibernate, and come back.  I use email, OO.org, IM, calendering, 
etc.

Yes, I'm a developer.  That doesn't mean I've got time to fight with my OS; 
I have real work to do for clients.

I use Linux every day to do real work.  I respectfully disagree with you, 
Daniel Mader.

Same thing.  I respectfully disagree with you.

Yes, there are problems with KDE 4.2.1, but I actually find it more useful 
than KDE 3.5.10.  I still don't think oS should have even shipped KDE 4.0 
and KDE 4.1 to users, much less made KDE 4.1 the default desktop.

To the oS developers on the list:  Thank you for all the work you do to make 
oS a great distribution.  Please ignore the users that don't want to be part 
of the solution, just don't confuse them with the users that have legitimate 
problems and want to help but just don't know how to fix their bug.  Good 
luck during the development of 11.2, may it be the best oS ever.
