If things don't improve, 11.1 may be the one distro I skip.
9.1 was first 2.6 release, hardly a good release. 10.1 had a butchered package management system, definitely not a good release. 11.1? I'm not sure I've seen a clearly major guffaw, but there sure seems to be a lot of minors and near majors: KDE4 still isn't anywhere near as useful as KDE3. Wireless problems. Partitioner usability problems. RAID problems. Chopped off non-resizable columns in YaST2. Failure to boot. DVD access problems. Horrible Intel video performance. What did I miss?
XDMCP problems when accessing 11.1 desktop from 11.0 system. Wake on LAN broken
I've currently got 11.1 on two system, but I suspect I'll soon be taking them back to 11.0. Going back to a previous version is something I've never done before, but I guess there's a first time for everything.
Add to this:
while 11.1 recognises my Lexmark 1039 laser printer it doesn't have the driver for it; and
I cannot play DVDs because there are some codecs missing - but they are all installed AFAIC. (And of course both cdrom readers and burners are not recognised.)
I forgot to add: pulseaudio is an abomination.
Ciao.
