I installed 11.0 just to see how KDE4 was. I am happy with my 10.3 and KDE3. KDE4 was what I didn't like. I'll try again with 11.1 and KDE4 although I have a feeling that I will be sticking with my 10.3 and KDE3. I sincerely hope that SuSE will continue to support a full version of KDE3 until they get KDE4 right.
Yes, I also don't like kde 4, but you can use kde 3 in 11.0, and 11.0 has some interesting advantages, specially in package management.
And his additude/understanding relates directly to the vehminent accusations by four or five list participants about the status of KDE4 and the mind-set of its programmers. The differences between KDE3 and KDE4 are similar to changing word processor/text editors, wordstar/wordperfect/ms-junk, and having to learn new key sequences, or a different email client :^) I learned wordstar keystrokes on cp/m and prefer anything that resembles them now as I don't have to learn something *completely* different. KDE4 is the future and the nay-sayers may as well contribute by using it, unless it will not provide the necessary functions they *require*, and contribute bug-reports to gain uses and actions they desire. David Rankin has chosen this path as have a few others but there are several *loud* spoken individuals, especially Fred Miller, who's attitudes and approach are only causing turmoil and descension. Bob S wants to do things but has little understanding and appears to be very impressionable and I feel that it is this group of individuals who hear the nay-sayers comments and blindly follow, causing great delay the development of linux. You have seen the same applied to gnome. I read your admonishment of David Rankin in the factory list :^). </rant> I feel better now, thanks for listening... -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
