It happens to be rock solid so I didn't even bother upgrading to 10.3. 10.3 on the other hand (on my main machine) was a pig in terms of speed and reliability so I wiped it and went with bog-standard Debian Etch. Never tried Debian before, I love it, it's fast, reliable and apt is way more user friendly than yast IMO. It's unlikely that I'll have another look at SUSE until 11 has been gold for a month or two. Still, way to go SUSE team!

I want to try OpenSuSE, once work settles down a little bit with the new production environment I am most likely looking for a new distro.

better off to go with Mint or PCLinuxOS if you want a New Distro, but i'd be waiting for the final of 11.0 to try this out, you gotta love Yast to use Suse ;) Sat, 19 Jan 2008 06:09:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Sabz) Comments at the risk of sounding like a broken record.......... http://www.osnews.com/thread?296885 http://www.osnews.com/thread?296885 KDE 4.1 please. ;) Sat, 19 Jan 2008 15:35:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (REMF) Comments KDE 4.1 http://www.osnews.com/thread?296913 http://www.osnews.com/thread?296913 Before the "roadmap" came out...there were "goals" published for 11.0 and KDE 4.1 was one of them...as it will be about 6 months out...and that is the projected date (sort of) of KDE 4.1. So I think that they will include 4.1 with the Gold Release. I hope so too as 4.0 is still rough around the edges...but looks nice.

I am using openSUSE 10.3 on all of my equipment without problems....SUSE IS a bit slower than some of the lighter-weight distro's but it has worked so well for me in just about all respects...so I have been sticking with it. 10.3 runs faster than 10.2 for me, so don't know what the issue is with the guy above....anyway....11.0 should be a nice leap forward.

the closest i imagine is the inclusion of KDE 4.1 in SLED 11.0.

but that doesn't stop me thinking that opensuse 11.0 should have KDE 4.1 as a baseline come hell or high weather.

I was still using 9.3 for a while and a lot of the problems they 'fixed' in 10.2 could have been applied as an update when it got released.
