This is not meant to start a flame war, I just thought I should express my concern on this list.
"Novell dips KDE 3.5 (...) OpenSuse-Community-Manager (...) said that OpenSuse 11.1 would be the last version with KDE 3.5, and would contain only a stripped down version of the desktop. Strting with openSuSE 11.2 there will be no more KDE 3.5 components in the repositories (...)" - quick and dirty translation of LinuxUser 11.2008
Well, I don't know how far KDE 4.x will be when 11.1 comes out. Judging by 4.1.2 and Sebastian Kügler's interview in the same magazin (more plasmoids and new features and not a single word about bringing back the "old" fonctionalities) it seems I should quickly look for a replacement distribution........
I don't hope to change Novell's decision, but am I the only one here to say "no, KDE 4 has *not* the desktop, file manager and other desktop management elements I want?
I haven't seen a roadmap for 11.2 yet, but I would guess it will come out next August or so. ie. You don't have to "quickly" look for a replacement desktop. And who knows, by May or June you may find the KDE 4.x is working for you.
