And its not like we were all caught off guard by the beta quality of KDE4.

This board went on a full tilt rant for weeks prior to this release
begging, pleading, demanding, and crying for OpenSuse to include STRONG
warnings not to install KDE4 due to incompleteness and missing
features.

Opensuse being a "Community based" distro notwithstanding, this advice
was (as usual)
totally ignored.

SO expect this to be a common thread here on this list.
KDE4 Rants are just beginning.

----------JSA---------
If I have an old edition of KDE (from SuSE 9.3) will it run, and how do I
go about keeping it when installing 11.0, which should be here in a day or two? I am perfectly happy wioth the old KDE, and the only reason I am going
to 11.0 is (hopefully) better printer and sound support.


Other than acting out masochistic fantasies, why in the world
would you want to do this when you can just run KDE 3.5 ?
