The 3rd one is the one with a professional look, IMHO.
The others are still not bad.

No option for none of the above?

They are all ugly.

Maybe I’m just too simple to understand all this bickering but, I go between Gnome and KDE and Ubunto and OpenSuse. I prefer OpenSuse as I have a dislike for the locked root and having come from Xenix and UNIX life of years ago I think about getting into root for functions. Try getting rid of Cross Office instaled on Ubunto. However, for average users either ditro seems fine. As for the Gnome vs KDE fighting, forget it. I see laypersons happily using both and do not think about it. They seem to handle the switching back and forth with little problem. I go between them and about the only negitive cmment I can think of with KDE are the apps. Everything start with a K. Can’t you start naming programs logically? I have friends come to me and ask about adding a program that can do X and when I look at the lists, there are birds, fish, blah, blah blah but, almost none named to indicate what they are. And, the associated descriptions are just as bad or worse. Rather than fighting over what GUI is better for the world, go ask laypersons who use each and are trying to use Linux as a system what bugs them. You’ll not get to the mainstream public without doing so. Mac whether you like them or not, realized long ago, the key to winning hearts is to make it easy and not cryptic to use their system. You can go under the GUI to the OS but users want product results from their computers and not think of the coputer as most here do, an end to a means in of itself.

I still can not believe so many do so much in the advancement of Linux from the days in the early ’90s when I first picked up a Linux journal and red about it. I applaud you and the companies that have supported the various distros.

This is not an attack on you as you deserve only the highest of praise but like many great products until the marketig team does its job in finding out what the target consumer wants, it can be a continuing miss.

6 days to go to see how it fares against Ubunto – I’ve already blocked next weekend out.

There seems to be some problems with the Website. Are there alternative sites where we can see the other contributions?

No, people are not upset about KDE’s preselection. We’re very happy with it, and quite grateful to the openSUSE team for all the incredible work they’ve put into 11.2. I love how the openSUSE team has been able to tune out so much noise for the past year and keep working toward yet another stunning release. I was a big Fedora fan for years, but 10.3, then 11.1 lured me to openSUSE because of its better KDE integration. Thanks!

Excellent work guys…just waiting on the final release! I run two opensuse Xen servers at home (one of them with 15 hot swap bays). I’ve been dying for Xen to get cpu throttling support (almost switched to centos for it) but with RC1 opensuse…Xen and throttling worked flawlessly! Dropped power usage by 30 watts on the secondary server!

Desktop is much nicer now. I’ve realized a long time ago that version *.2 is the golden one with opensuse…that was true for 10.2 and seems to be true with 11.2! Thanks for all the hardwork!

Hey!
It just came to my mind right now. If I’m right there is a nautilus-package that handles the automount. Maybe this one was removed?
Just can’t remember the name. Maybe this hint helps you to fix the problem and to regain a little more comfort.

Greetings
