Apropos KDE4, it is usable. It has all basic functions of the desktop and many more are in place.
I have to agree. With all the weeping and moaning going on here about KDE4, I fired it up in my VM install of 11.0 and tried it out for a while. It works.. after an update, it works a lot better. Bump to 4.1 Beta and it's even better. I used it as a regular desktop for a full day, and honestly, had little to complain about. I've played with the 4.x releases since the very first release. I've used the various distro KDE4 releases sich as the Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 release... and they were unusable.. openSUSE's implementation IS usable. It works, and i think that unless something really big comes up in my preinstall testing, I will be going with KDE4 in my 11.0 install in a week or so. I talked to the KDE developers at LinuxTag in Berlin for quite a while... and they are really working on getting things sorted... this is not a crusade to remove features. As for reviews.. so far in the openSUSE 11.0 reviews that I have read, they have nothing but good to say about the overall implementation of 11.0, and I have also noticed that when they mention KDE4, they all (of the reviews I have read) say that the openSUSE roll of KDE4 is the best available. So, yes some things are still not in place, but they are being added in with each update... and for a desktop... I don't see what is so horribly wrong and devastating about KDE4... far from perfect, but even farther from the horrible and bleak picture some people here are trying to paint.
