The remaining question is whether I should go for OpenSuSE 11.1 instead of 11.0, or perhaps choose OpenSuSe 10.3 if that one is even better even though not the most recent one. Is there any consensus about which version is preferable?
No consensus. There are different bugs in each. You need to find out which will cause you least grief.
Video drivers are one thing to focus on. If you use Intel, you might be least happy with 11.1, but that depends particularly on which Intel chip you have.
Package management (mostly zypper-related) is most evolved in 11.1.
I have found that package management was the worst part of 11.1. I could not install any backup rpm's through YaST, but had to use command line for every rpm install. No, I am not interested in online "repositories." I want to download everything, store and back it up for future installations. Is the package management fixed now in 11.1 upgrades?
