I would rather get SuSE11 now rather than have to wait for an application release. OpenSUSE did teh right thing by pre-releasing 11 rather than wait for KDE4.1. We get a taste of 4.1 in 4, and when 4.1 is ready, we update. Simple as that. Supported or not, I would prefer to wait less time for new releases.

As a laptop user I (quite recently) discovered that KDE4 used way more power than KDE3 i.e. running powertop on KDE4 showed much higher figures on an idle system than on an idle KDE3 system.

I vaguely remember that it could have been knotify4 related, hope this has been ironed out by now.

I am old to Opensuse as I noticed from Ian’s Comment where he got in to trouble installing the repos. I havent had this problems as I install the base 1st, repos did give me an error on the istallation when I took a peek at it before going to work. After work the base was installed 1st then other stuff after. I used a CD while I had the DVD on order.

Ever Since I saw Opensuse 10.2 I prefered it over other operating systems used, Im not sure if the KDE menuing system is similar to Vista as I havent used Vista or Seen it.

I like to See 11.0, I normally upgrade on the large number(before the dot) rather than the minor number(after the dot)

Never allowing the user to see what version they are running might be all that is needed to make this “feature” work for most people.

A very comprehensive hardware/software detection and change management application might do it (install the very latest that works on your machine then rollback what fails). And then call it “Your Mileage May Vary”!

Does SUSE track user selected packages (GUIs and install groups)?

I found the version down loadable with the last opensuse 86-64 to be a dissapointment. The widgets could not be shut off, the icons would not resize, I could not add links to software that I wanted to use to the panel etc.

It’s been explained rather vastly before why this is impossible to do.
