them maintain it. I'm sure the volunteer team maintaining it now
would welcome some extra hands helping out.
Who says you're stuck with KDE4? openSUSE isn't just KDE4. Why does
everyone think this? Every major Linux desktop environment, and a few
not so well known are easily available and installable - most right
from he install DVD. OK, KDE3 isn't there on the DVD, but installing
it isn't that hard. You can do it from the command line or with YaST2
in NCurses/text mode if you don't want any other DE installed.

I agree. I'm currently running 11.0 on my main system. I have 11.4 on a
few systems, but only one, my notebook, is not a firewall or server where
the desktop is less critical. I also think KDE 4 was in many ways a step
backward. I'll have to update (I can't use the word "upgrade") to a later
verison of openSUSE soon, but I'm lot looking forward to being stuck with
KDE 4.
