ok, 11.3 is out and the typical new ver flack is somewhat clouding the suse sky,yet the problems do not seem to be widespread and most do seem to be operator and/or equipment induced. yea, i do have a spare 50gb in my primary hard drive and I could probably test out 11.3 without too much pain,BUT, before that happens, i would like to know what *specific* great thing 11.3 can provide over 64 bit 11.1, running on kde 3.5.and i am still curious about 4 things: 1. what is really new in 11.3? 2. what kde3 functionality is kde4 still missing? 3. is the 11.3 kde3 setup still 100% depenedent on qt3 and is that a major performance issue?
There is no KDE3 in the 11.3 release.
my understanding is that it can be installed if the basic install is text based. i heard that there are issues when both kde3 and kde4 are installed, but not when only one of the two is present.
4. is there a way to remove any and all of the content indexers in the likes of nepomonk and strigi and still have a full fledged 64 bit 11.3? thanks in advance,
You can disable both.
I asked about *removal*. In another thread you said that nepo**** is part of kdebase4. "disabling" is bound to cause serious functionality problems in other apps or at some soon to come downstream point. also integration of non-removable indexers into the base package is of great concern to conspiracy theorists. yes i have read the bit about multiple pim copies in memory and other such things, but the argument is just not convincing, there are many much simpler and infinitely more efficient ways to accomplish that. To have to go thru every stored byte in the computer just so a few k of data is not duplicated in ram simply does not make sense.
I would suggest you use a virtual machine to test 11.3, most of your questions depend on personla preferences thus nobody will give you a definite answer.

thanks, i might try that. virtualbox from sun is working extremely well and i get a lot of laughs when i run in seamless mode and i "prove" to my friends that linux is so suprior to doze that it even runs doze apps in native mode:) even my EE graduate son got fooled for a second or two:) d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
