Whew.....
The voice of reason has prevailed. To save new users from frustration is there any designation at install that will let the user know that kde4 is pre-beta?
BUT, it is not "pre-beta". It is *released*. It may lack features you wish/need, but it is *not* beta or alpha (pre-bata).
If I was a newbie (not that I'm not) and I was given the choice of installing Ver. 3 or Ver. 4 of something, I would always think 4 was better. This issue might cause the new user (not to mention the list and novell support) a great deal of frustration if there is nothing to show that kde4 is for "brave" users only.
The "new" user will do as he wishes until he realizes where he stands. It's almost like reading the eulas. Most *blindly* accept whatever is presented. If he is *really* interested, he will look online and do a small (or large) amount of research. After all, how many frequent posters here ask questions that have been answered early the same day or multiple times in the recent past? Door #1, or Door #2, or Door #3, and then there is also Door #4. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
