When not use KDE 3.5.10 on openSUSE 11.0 or 11.1 then?

I tried OpenSUSE 11, but KDE 4 simply doesn´t cut it. I´m afraid KDE 4.1 won´t be the solution either, so I´m staying with my trusty 10.3 version and KDE 3.5 for now…

I have 4 production machines on 11.0, forced up from 9.3. I have some issues with the USB (mass storage devices that are running on my 10.2 laptop won’t on 11.0).
I installed 11.0 3 times initially, Gnome, then KDE4, then settled for 3.5 as the most production suitable. I find 11.0 great. Package management is good, speed is good, stability seems great, the hardware was all selected around Linux to ensure production machines worked best.
From a production environment I have found the xx.2 or xx.3 releases the most stable. An easy way of migrating from xx.0 -> xx.1 …xx.3> would be a plus as there has always seemed to have been a lot of package cleanup after an upgrade. Ubuntu have selected LTS versions, it would be nice is say the xx.3 release of each openSUSE version was LTS (5 yrs) to encourage confidence in a production environment. We have dozens of XP machines still supported and I am sure many environments would consider it an advantage not to have to migrate between hardware cycles.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to 11.3

First off, I have been running 4 production servers on 10.3 and 11.0 for 15 months (less for 11.0 obviously), never a reboot or problem. I agree that OpenSuse is not for everyone, Linux will never be windows (Thank God). If you want everything to work half way but easy to install use vista. As far as speed, you are way off the mark, this is not even a point of discussion. You must have really screwed the pooch on setup, or maybe its that trs80 your installing it on.

You sir, are an idiot.

Font size? Color? Skip from 11 to 13?

Try to force the world to use OS/2? Are they still at it?

If you have only 98% uptime w/ any Linux distro in mainstream use, let alone 70% uptime w/ Windows (2K or later) you probably are saying less about the choice of OS than you are about those who install and support it (and it isn’t very nice).

I know Win2K servers who have run for months w/o down time, and my own openSUSE 11/KDE 3.5.9 workstation has run fine w/o restart for months now in spite of hacking away and testing new packages–and I am an end user, not a sysadmin.

Seriously, while openSUSE is a much better OS for most uses (and is actually a hell of a lot easier to install than WinXP), most of these problems people complain about just don’t seem based in reality (except for KDE 4 which is still not to release candidate quality regardless of what the project says).

Never said that i don’t like the upgrade…
I do like upgrades. And I don’t expect stable neither alphas, nor betas. That’s why it is said “Testing version” – it is to be tested.
And if you want and have the time, send a number of bug reports.

version numbers have nothing to do with stability as has been pointed out to you already but you seem unable to comprehend.

11 is very stable. If you have had problems with it, then submit a bug report, if you are just going to moan without having done so then you haven’t earned the right to say anything.

I wonder if you have even used openSUSE or just prefer to be a negative person who really has written a lot of nothing of any substance

Hi guys why talk bad about OpenSuse I like it. I had problems too whit KDE 4.1 but KDE 3.5 is better. If we know Windows have allot of bugs. How many times people have blue screen of dead whit WIN for exeple (0x00000A). On linux Distro I do not have that problem. On Suse we are a team !! Remember that TEAM WORK TO THE BEST DISTRO ;)(Y) Keep going strong guys.

Greeds,
