If things don't improve, 11.1 may be the one distro I skip.

9.1 was first 2.6 release, hardly a good release. 10.1 had a butchered
package management system, definitely not a good release. 11.1? I'm
not sure
I've seen a clearly major guffaw, but there sure seems to be a lot of
minors
and near majors: KDE4 still isn't anywhere near as useful as KDE3.
Wireless
problems. Partitioner usability problems. RAID problems. Chopped off
non-resizable columns in YaST2. Failure to boot. DVD access problems.
Horrible Intel video performance. What did I miss?

XDMCP problems when accessing 11.1 desktop from 11.0 system.
Wake on LAN broken

I've currently got 11.1 on two system, but I suspect I'll soon be
taking them back to 11.0. Going back to a previous version is
something I've never done before, but I guess there's a first time for
everything.

Add to this:

while 11.1 recognises my Lexmark 1039 laser printer it doesn't have the
driver for it; and

I cannot play DVDs because there are some codecs missing - but they are
all installed AFAIC. (And of course both cdrom readers and burners are
not recognised.)

Ciao.
