Hi, it's me again,

First part - explanations, apologies, etc
Second part - no more rants, go for constructive action


1st part
--------
I see a lot of list users took my post as a negative and destructive 
one, and even found me being a troll. I am very deeply sorry for that. I 
see that many of you will not believe, but my original intention with 
this post was truly positive. I just took some liberty to disclose two 
samples of my own experience taken in 6-year time span.

I am aware of the main purpose of this list and, being member for a long 
time long time, I know that ramblings like this are not welcomed by most 
members. God knows why, I hoped this time it will be different. I hoped 
the list users will take me as a serious witness of old times, someone 
who can give a pretty fair comparison. Indeed, how many of current list 
users were here in the times of suse 6/7/8/9 ? And, how many of those 
who were here in that times are not here any more? (Just wandering, no 
need for an answer.)

So, I see, I took too much liberty - trying to act as someone who can 
see a broader picture. OK. I was wrong. I am sorry. But I'd appreciate 
if you could stop calling me a troll. I am still your friend, just 
thinking aloud and with less political correctness. But friend.

I want to say also that I was not complaining. Not at all. I use factory 
deliberately. In the past (and it was all suse releases from 6.4 on) I 
got used to update regularly to whatever was the latest repo of the 
time. It was my choice. And, I can manage it. I rarely come to this list 
with questions. Most of my problems I can solve on my own. If not, I 
search through the list archives. I keep a copy of all list messages 
locally on one of my disks, and almost have no need for googleing 
through archives. And I manage all my converted friends' machines as well.


2nd part
--------
I see that many of you think that using factory might be the sole cause 
of my bad experience. But, at the moment, I don't have any suse comp 
that is not factory.

So, here I am, asking for help:

I want a stable KDE4 opensuse 11.3 machine that is updated to the latest 
bug-fixes from the kernel all the way up to the apps like openoffice, 
mozilla stuff (F-fox and T-bird) and mp3-aware multimedia 
(audio/video/webcam). And yes I am ready to give up compiz and go for 
kwin effects.

I am ready to build up one really stable and well behaving installation. 
I want to get the same experience as all other happy people on the list.

Could you please, help me with the list of repos that I have to use, 
besides the ones that come with fresh install.

I sincerely want to give it a try.

And, don't kill me, please! Friends, remember?

~rms~
