I would agree on 9.3 being a great release, but 10.3 was a dismal
failure for me.  I couldn't even get the DVD to boot the kernel
without it going into full panic.  The only was I could get it to boot
was to use a special mini iso with a custom kernel provided by the
kernel dev team.  Part way through the boot I had to swap DVDs back to
the standard 10.3.  The install would complete, but only just barely,
and then the whole 10.3 experience after an install was a flop.  10.2
was light years better... for me.  10.3 was the release I had to roll
back to a previous release on.

My point being that Patrick is much more correct here... the x.3 thing
is all perception and nothing more.  For some people 11.1 is a great
release (like me for example) and for others it's their equivalent of
my 10.3.  What works perfect for one doesn't mean it will for another
(hardware difs, install requirement difs etc).
