You are merely stating your opinions w/o any specifics and to an audience that cannot help you.

I wouldn't even imagine that it's available anymore. Are you sure you don't mean 11.1 B5?

You should use whatever works best for you (and your computer). After all, it's all free. KDE 3.5 is still available, too, and several other GUIs. I'm running 11.0 KDE 4.1.3 on a server, two desktops, and a laptop, and so far, everything I've wanted has been here. I just switched from Thunderbird to KMail, and I couldn't be happier. It's like trading a VW for a Porsche. KDE 4.0 wasn't nearly ready for prime time when openSuSE 11.0 shipped, and I think it was a mistake to include it. I continued using 3.5 on a couple of my machines for a while afterwards. But hearing that the updates were improving things, I gave it another try, and indeed it's now all I could ask for. So on 4 different motherboards, 3 different kinds of processors from Intel and AMD, 4 different video cards from 2 manufacturers, all different sound cards, and all sorts of drive controllers, everything just plain works for me. Works fine in a Hyper-V virtual on my Server 2008 machine at work, too. Maybe I'm just lucky. But I wanted you to know that not everyone is getting results like yours. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not really. Zypper ref and zypper dup still download B5.2. I just tried. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I presume you're talking about openSUSE 11.*1* Beta 5, BTW. We want to know what issues you are having under openSUSE 11.1's pre-releases, but this isn't the correct mailinglist to do it in. Plus, Beta 5 is no longer the newest pre-release, please take a look at RC1 to see if anything was fixed. Once you've used RC1, if things are still causing you trouble, please send an email to opensuse-factory@opensuse.org and file bugs at bugs.opensuse.org so we can look into fixing the problems.

I'd be surprised if you can find it. 11.0 has been in produciton for awhile now, and they're ready to release 11.1 - it works great. If you need download help, let us know.
KDE4.1 is very incomplete and just about worth going to fvwm2.
Huh?

Click on icon - drag to desktop. Pretty straightforward, IMO. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
