11.2 on 2 test boxen, one a Dell laptop with Intel duel-core Centrino and 2G RAM and an HP desktop with a dual-core Opteron and 4G of RAM, are FASTER running with openSUSE 11.2 and KDE than Ubuntu 9.10. This I consider an important feat. Yast has even more ability than in 11.1. Anyone who's used Yast is hard pressed to want to leave it. ;)
I have an idea that 11.2 will be the distro. all others are measured by.

I cannot disagree with this.
But what I fear most right now is that the wrong decisions will be made to keep pushing the "bleeding edge" rather than consolidating and getting the 'almost-show-stopper' bugs resolved.
I think a lot of us share that thought. I thought with the zypper dup command this morning, I'd be presented with a new repository...."nVidia." NADA!! I should have known it wouldn't happen. Either the update isn't happening as it should, or the devs. don't have it available. Neither one is good, for sure!!

I'm not at all happy with the zypper dup repository handling. It makes zero attempt to manage your repos. If you want a new repo, you have to do it yourself. See http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade/11.2#Command_line In my mind this is the biggest shortcoming in the zypper dup / wagon process. fyi: I've opened bug reports, commented on the Fate entry, and posted about this on the factory list. I think for 11.2 it was considered too big of a step, but I hope 11.3 includes an effort to simplify repo management during a upgrade.
