I did not realize until today how many users are actually running old openSUSE releases that are not even under maintenance any more that is kind of a scary though. I am curious as to the reasons why they are doing this? If it is a technological issue preventing them from upgrading, if they are doing this to hold onto KDE 3.5.x etc.
For desktops in the office, we have been deliberately holding back to stay on KDE3 for now. We're slowly introducing 13.1 with KDE4, and at some point we will have to bite the bullet.
KDE 4 has gotten a whole lot better since the KDE 4.2-4 time frame. I used it the whole way though but I can see why people would want to hold back on such a large development moving target until it reached a stable maturity.
We will be going KDE4, that's a definite. We just didn't want to do it overnight - training costs etc. Introducing it slowly, starting with people who are more inclined/open towards new stuff means a much smoother migration. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
