it's been a while since I last watched the list and a while since OpenSUSE 11.3 hit the market so I installed it yesterday on my desktop PC at home, the same one I used with OpenSUSE 11.0 + patches before the installation: HP xw4200 (3 GB RAM, 64bit dual-core, etc).
I've been using SuSE since version 5.3 back in 1995-6 (?) and for the first time in so many years I have to say: I'm disappointed with the final result.
I've been running Factory on several systems ever since after 10.0, the first "open" SUSE, and SUSE GM releases since 8.0. Since open began, I've yet to find a .1 or .3 I like better than the previous release, same as I did with 9.x. 8.2 & 9.0 were Jewels. So on systems I use constantly, as opposed to those on which I dabble with Factory, I've regularly only used .0 or .2 releases. Same experience with Factory's 11.3 (due largely to immaturity of KMS, but also demise of SaX2 among other reasons) as the earlier odds, so yesterday my most heavily used 11.0 box became a 11.2 box, and, with the exception of Amarok & K3B, still using KDE3. So far, 11.2 is doing no worse than 11.0 did. One preliminary indication is that apps using Flash seem to be consuming less RAM in 11.2 than in 11.0. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
