Was 11.2 made insecure? If so, why would installing it help? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

As far as I am concerned, there is no compelling reason to move to 11.1 at this point in time. Doing so in all probability will only create problems for you. My "main" system is 11.0 with both KDE3 and KDE4 installed, and I am using KDE4 with the idea of getting used to it. All that I have normally used in the past works in 11.0 (and with KDE4 [ignoring the functions found in KDE3 but not in KDE4]). On my "test" system I have 11.1 installed with both KDE3 and KDE4. So far this installation has been the source of much angst and a lot of wasted download time. Stay with 11.0 - unless the latest kernel in 11.1 will provide some function which is not available for you system in the kernel for 11.0.

Yet with my system, moving to 11.1 was a major improvement. I had to remove PulseAudio and revert to ALSA to fix a minor audio annoyance, but otherwise it's working very well - especially KDE4.

Well, never change a running system. However check the list of changes / new features and check whether there is some you need. I upgraded for KDE 4.1 and Amarok 2. Having openJDK in there is also nice.

I have a total of 5 computers here running OpenSUSE. All were previously running 11.0. I updated two to 11.1. I'll be reverting one back to 11.0, due to problems in 11.1. I'll leave one at 11.1, so I can still experiment, but that's my test system, which I don't use for anything other than trying new distros. My 3 major issues with 11.1 are Wake on Lan doesn't work, which kills 11.1 for my server. The partitioner, during install appears to make it impossible to install LVM on top of RAID and XDMCP is busted in that you can't access an 11.1 system from an 11.0. I haven't had enough time yet with 11.1 to find more issues, but I still don't care for KDE 4. One thing I did find nicer in 11.1 is when switching to a remote desktop, it takes fewer keystrokes and for some reason, that appears only with a new install and not an upgrade from 11.0. So, for the first time in my life, I'm reverting back to an older distro. Until the WoL & partitioner problems are resolved, I won't be using 11.1 on most of my systems. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Basically I haven't seen any reason to upgrade from 10.3. There seems nothing in Linux itself that is that much new and improved. So no compelling reason there. I continue to test KDE4.1b2 in a virtual machine, and when I find it to my liking (probably around 4.3) I'll switch, but switching for switching sake is not high on my agenda. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If nothing else, Yast is MUCH faster in 11.0 than 10.3.' Bob -- bob@rsmits.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
