[opensuse] KDE 4.1: which repo/link to use for install?

Hello,
Today I saw the officail KDE announcement for KDE 4.1 beta 2, asking for
testers:
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.1-beta2.php
I decided I would install this release into a VMWare image and test some
things - no harm done if it crashes and burns.
The bottom of the annoucement (as usual) lists some OS/Distro vendors
(including openSuSE) who have packaged this release for their distro.
The open SuSE link points here:
http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/KDE4
And I find that page very confusing. Perhaps I am really dense today, but I
don't understand the difference between the various repos. We have the
following:
KDE 4.1.x - Factory 4.1. "for openSuSE 11.1 I ASSUME that means I shouldn't
use it on 11.0.
4.1.x unstable - it's not very clear what version of openSuSE those are meant
to be used on.
11.0 - "currently the KDE 4.0.4 packages" - I assume that means, the same ones
that are on the install media/regular, stable, OOS repo
openSUSE Factory - I'm confused about what "Factory" is now. Is it the
on-going development tree that has the next version number (11.1)? If so
what's the difference between this and the first link? Or is it the same as
11.0 right now?
openSUSE 10.3 - I think this is the old version of KDE that came witn 10.3 as
a preview?
Then further down the links we have again:
Build Service Project (KDE 4.0.x)
UNSTABLE KDE Project (KDE 4.1.x)
KDE 4 UNSTABLE Repository -- Bleeding Edge
I appologize for being so stupid, but I am simply not able to understand which
of those corresponds to today's 4.1 beta-2 release.
The announcement has a direct link to the one-click install for 11.0, which
points under the Factory
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0/KDE4-BASIS.ymp
I guess that means they packaged 4.1-beta2 for the current "Factory" distro
and then forked that tree to make it also compatible with 11.0?
Thanks,
JW
