Frankly I think KDE 4.x needs a little bit of development time. It's not stable on all platforms as yet. From the very first installation it's graphics on my opensuse 11.1 is edgy. The Plasma panel behaves as if it has been stretched to perform on a machine from the Jurassic age. Same for Firefox or Konqueror. Beauty of Linux is that it can maximize even your measly hardwares. Though I don't think my hardware is that archaic. (P4 2.8Ghz, 512mb ram, onboard intel extreme graphics 2, standard set of mouse, keyboard, monitor and ADSL modem). So I have decided to go back to Ubuntu 9.04 today. For the simple reason that it is idiot proof. But I will check out opensuse 11.2 in fall. Cause I am not a big fan of Factory. Stability wins any day over eyecandy. May be this is what all newbies should do ..... begin with a dumb distro like ubuntu.... move on to the intermediates like suse or fedora and finally if you are really hell bent on bragging about your linux skills may be slackware :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
