Not to mention the black eye it left Linux in general. For years Linux has claimed that it is ready as a desktop and a viable alternative to M$. KDE4 poked one hell-of-a finger in the eye of the community being released in the condition and alpha state that it was. It's still just beta software -- period.
Don't stick that on the KDE team. The release announcements were clear: KDE 4.0 was a developer-only release and KDE 4.1 was an early-adopter release. For those out there that have forgotten how to speak non-techie that's "alpha" and "beta", respectively.
I don't think we are putting that on the KDE team. They are doing a great job by the way. We're putting in on the "rocket scientist" from openSUSE that decided to make it appear as the primary KDE version to install starting with 11.0 by putting the solid KDE 3.x in the "other" menu at install time. This should have been the other way around. I, like many others, will not touch KDE 4.x with a 10' pole until it _is_ ready for prime time. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
