My opinion, of course :-)
Hi Carlos,

Your opinions are usually right. I think I will try to revert to a pure
10.3. I already have the 11.0 DVD and installed it on another partition
with KDE4. I was so dissapointed it just sits there doing nothing. Don't
use it. My 10.3 does everything I need with KDE3.5. I will try 11.1 when
it comes out and blow away 11.0
Why don't you like it? 11.0 with kde 3 is very good.

I installed 11.0 just to see how KDE4 was. I am happy with my 10.3 and KDE3.
KDE4 was what I didn't like. I'll try again with 11.1 and KDE4 although I
have a feeling that I will be sticking with my 10.3 and KDE3. I sincerely
hope that SuSE will continue to support a full version of KDE3 until they get
KDE4 right.

Bob,

I like 11.0 with KDE 3.5.10 better than I like 10.3 with KDE 3.5.10!
Why,
zypper & yast repository refresh is 10 times faster on 11.0 than on 10.3. I
can't wait to see KDE 3.5 on 11.1! Although in fairness, KDE4 on 11.1B5 is
quite usable.
