Well, okay, let's put it this way.
My brother-in-law wanted to try Linux for the FIRST time - Internet, OpenOffice and thats about it.
When I downloaded and installed 11.2 / KDE ? (from the download).
Crash after crash, lockup....
He wanted it pulled and gone back to windows, then I said let me go back to 11.1 - installed it (base "downloaded" DVD) and happy ever since.
So, if 11.2 has to be constantly be tweaked then I'm (and he) are staying on 11.1 for quite a while.
I'm my eyes, 11.2 is still in the beta cycle - unless it can be installed and - solidly working - just like 11.1

Although I do not now use KDE, I could make some comment if I had actually got as far as installing 11.2 successfully after a crash of a 11.0 system (with a largely unused copy of KDE on it). 11.2 installation generated a few unwelcome surprises, but installing 11.1 was reasonably trouble free and there was no major data loss as a consequence of the failure. A major problem was initially with correct FS recognition of partitions created in 11.0 and before, rendering the structures concerned unmountable, IIRC there were some other issues as well. I would caution that any reasoning from a particular experience to a general observation is not really justifiable. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
