but are you aware of the panoply of reported problems in 11.1?
even worst, there are panoply of whinnying users that prefer to be part of the problem instead of part of the solution and fail to recognize
I attempt to be part of the solution, by having no less than 7 installations of openSUSE Factory on different systems, as well as at least one installation of every release back to 9.2, besides filing bugs at buzilla.novell.com and upstream as I find them.
that a software product will always have bugs that may affect certain, specific use-cases, but that does not mean it is "broken" for everyone else nor a reason to misguide other people recommending them to install an older version.
It's pretty widely believed in the openSUSE community that some releases are better than others. My experience is support for such believes is valid. Among those poorer releases are 9.1 (first 2.6 kernel), 10.1 (rug and messed up YaST software management) & the short-fused rush-to-release-before-Christmas and imminent-release-of-SLES/SLED 11.1 (long list, among which broken Intel video and common boot loader misconfigurations). Those who don't believe about 11.1 should get an explanation why a month after official release of kernel 2.6.28 that the newest kernel in factory/repo/oss/suse/i586 is 2.6.27. -- "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
