I haven't installed 11.2 on anything yet, but my complaints with 11.1
came after installing on a desktop computer. Laptop use is also
important for me, but if 11.2 fails on the desktop, it won't even be
considered for my laptop. I really have my doubts about the way KDE is
going.
Funnily enough after installing 11.2, I started longing for the
"classic" gnome UI (that you get with Fedora and Ubuntu) , and not the
Novell style, which I just don't find appealing.

I hate it when people ruin something good by "improving" it. While KDE 3 may have reached a dead end, they should have given a bit more thought to what was going into KDE 4. So far, I haven't cared for what I've seen of it. Also, with 11.1, boot on lan failed to work and I also couldn't use XDMCP to access the 11.1 computer from 11.0.

Now, if only I could find some way to keep my cat from sleeping on my ThinkPad. ;-)
