I’ve been running this release for several days now and it is just great. Smooth, fast and predictable. Here’s my latest blog entry:

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

openSUSE 11.2 milestone 7 has been replaced with a community release called openSUSE 11.1 KDE Reloaded. It uses the latest release of KDE, 4.3.1 and it’s a humdinger!!! Everything just works…sound, flash, Java, music, etc. So far it is very fast, stable and thoroughly updated with all the latest security and maintenance releases. You can’t ask for much more…that is until 11.2 is final. jepsr

Needless to say I’m very glad to get my hands on this latest community effort, excellent work team.

>> I guess it wouldn’t be difficult to update to 11.2 from this KDE 4-Reloaded release, too. > Not more easy than an update from stock 11.1 will be. It may be unwise to assume that an update from stock 11.1 to 11.2 will be easy. With a dual boot machine, both clean instal of 11.1 and an upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1 turned out to be a nightmare, owing to bugs in grub. (see for example Thinkpad won't boot with 11.1 and weird effects of updating from 11 to 11.1 ) I hope that 11.2 will have resolved these installation/upgrade problems on dual-boot machines, because regrettably we can't all use Linux-only boxes.

I’m sure that the German wiki team would welcome any help with translations. :-)

Not more easy than an update from stock 11.1 will be.

Well done. At the moment I’m downloading KDE 4 Reloaded. (By the way that’s also a cool name.)

I think it’s a pitty, that on the german opensuse.org-site (http://de.opensuse.org) not a hint about that news is. The last news stopped to release at end of july this year.

Greetings from Germany
Daniel

P.S.: One more question. I guess it wouldn’t be difficult to update to 11.2 from this KDE 4-Reloaded release, too.

The 11.1 respin is probably “better”. Factory contains ever-moving snapshots, and nearly always at any given point in time there will be something broken just as is true with the “milestone” beta’s. The 11.1 respin is essentially the same as updating with the repository at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1/ (and the Community and Playground counterparts if you are using those) plus any updates in the standard update repository.

Is that 11.1 + KDE 4.3.1 -version somehow “better” than most recent 11.2 factory version from here

http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/

So if this version has not either undergone the same kind of testing that stable releases receive and is partial mix of older and new packets and apps.

Does worldwide very popular ZTE MF636+ 3G mobile data modem work easily with this version of openSUSE?
Previously it hasn’t worked withouT extra work, like Huawei 3G modems do.

Can it be used to “upgrade” and UTD 10.0 install ?
Thanks.
