My original message may have been an over-reaction based on my concern for the future of Linux. When I use and promote Linux, I need to feel that things are getting better, not worse. The advice and encouragement that others here have generously offered me helps me to keep an open mind regarding 11.2. I posted my original message as a question: I want to hear what others think about 11.2. I also wanted to make my own issues and initial impressions public. Usually my impressions are positive -- I love the moving globe wallpaper, for example! If my impressions this time are mainly negative, it's because KDE 3.5 is SO good and solid, that I hate to be forced to part with it. Linux does not have to fear questions and honest criticism. Addressing user concerns makes the system stronger, not weaker. Thanks for your response. --- On Fri, 2/19/10, Basil Chupin <blchupin@iinet.net.au> wrote:

I've just installed 11.2, and I'm SHOCKED by the apparent loss of functionality. It feels like Linux is being dumbed-down to meet the meager expectations of Windows users. Tell me I'm wrong!
LOL!
Of course you are shocked.
When you post your "SHOCKED" message from something else other than a "YahooMailClassic" mailer then people here may consider properly responding to you.
Nevertheless, the short answer to your above (assumed to be the first, with more to come) provocation, "Tell me I'm wrong!" is:
*You are wrong*.
Now what, sweetheart?
(More stomping of feet, a tantrum or two or three? What do you have pre-planned, pray tell?)
