Without a running KDE3 to compare it to, most users "say" it works, but then don't want to look foolish by coming back and posting things that don't work, AND since most users overwrite their KDE3 they have nothing to compare it to.

I did a one-click install for 4.0.84 of KDE and I think it's not bad. Every day there are software updates for it in the updater. But, that's okay because it seems those updates are making it more and more stable. That's just my opinion. YMMV. -- Michael S. Dunsavage

I think the "should I upgrade to 11.0" debate may be quite different depending on if you are a KDE or a GNOME user. If you are a KDE user, you might be well served by sticking w/ 10.3, and perhaps upgrading to 3.5.9 via the build service if you are happy with your current set up - same for a GNOME user - just upgrade to the latest GNOME via build service and wait until 11.1 if everything is set up now to your specs, and working properly. If you happen to be a KDE user and want to use KDE 4, I'd recommend updating to the latest dev. version of KDE just like Michael did, as most report it's a leaps and bounds better than the 4.0.x that released w/ 11.0, and stay w/ the updates all the way to KDE 4.1.
Personally, I'm a GNOME user, and I upgraded to 11.0, and I'm happy I did - there wasn't any "big" changes in the GNOME desktop in 11.0 (other than a newer version of GNOME), but I think the combination of improvements in kernel 2.6.25 + gcc 4.3 have made things faster over all, and you can't ignore the improvements in zypper which make package management a dream over any 10.x version IMHO.
I do always tend to have the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality w/ software sometimes, but I think 11.0 is a solid release over-all.
Given your last sentence, which impovements constitute the "Compelling reason" the op was asking about? You are the first person to report ANY speed differences as far as I have seen. -- ----------JSA--------- "Ubuntu" is an African word meaning "Suse is too hard for me". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
