Hello, The recent threads makes me think Linux is changing very fast and very much (kde3->kde4, new automatic X without SaX2...). This is probably a good thing. However I think it's not enough documented. It's now time to enhance this, as we are to start a new distro (11.3??) any group having to change heavbily shoyld warn the user early and eventually ask for help to document the change. For example, sax2, of better said X. when the change was done from XFree to xorg, I dont really remamber warnings, but there where little changes. It was still possible to add some modelines on displays not working as default. now xorg.conf is completely desapearing, so what can we do in case of problem. An experienced Linux user (as I am, being SuSE from more than 10 years now), unable to make a box work in front of a new user is a very bad advertisement. so we should have a "migration white note", describing what the old tools did that is no more usefull and what can be done now and this is better done with a simple script with the old tool name displaying this doc *inside the new distro*, because this come often when one have no network. other ewample: In kde3 you had stick icons (icons the same in all desktop), to have this in kde4 do...
