Like for ten years if you also count its predecessor suse-linux-e?
What makes you think I haven't.
If you had, you wouldn't have told we would be making KDE4 the one and only desktop for openSUSE 11.0.
I didn't say that. I said that the statements made by SuSE personnel indicate that the decision has been made that KDE 4 is going to be made the default version of KDE -- while not in words, certainly in tone -- the holding out UNREASONABLE hope that the KDE devs will be able to perform a miracle of biblical proportions and get alpha-stage software up to release quality in less than half the time that the devs themselves say it will take. If I claimed that I'm planning on building a road across the Grand Canyon, and I'm not going to need anything more than a drop-in bridge like is used to go across a creek... and you say...but hey, that canyon is over a thousand meters deep....and I reply...just wait....the canyon is progressively filling in, and road hasn't reached the edge of the canyon yet.... would you trust ANYTHING I say about how I'm going to get the road from the one side of the canyon to the other ... or would you start to say that perhaps the project needs a new director.
Tell us about the problems which were discussed in February, and the assurances that KDE4 would be ready by the time 11.0 was released,
And lets not forget the frequently crashing Konsole.
Funny, my workstation is running Beta3 and I've not noticed a crashing konsole.
Well, lucky you.
If you can't even rely on something as simple as Konsole to not crash...
If you call a terminal emulation with konsole's features simple, you simply have *no* idea what you're talking about and there's no use in discussing with you.
Compared to other components, yes, Konsole is a simple app. Especially since there was an already WORKING version.
If an accurate characterization is insulting,
No, but I call using four letter words insulting.
Then stop being pig-head to the point of inducing the sorts of frustration at the stupidity that make people use four letter words in response to such blatant stupidity. You used to get beat up a lot in school, didn't you.
