KDE4 takes a while to get used to tho.

I've installed it this morning on a spare PC and it seems to work quite well.

Ja, thanks... I found it one some of the local FTP servers. Busy downloading the DVD now. Will post a screenshot soon.

I dunno hey, I installed this distro (aka tried it) on Saturday. Well at first, I didn't like KDE4, it just feels too buggy and unfinished. Given a year or so, I am sure KDE 4 will rock.

KDE 3.5, I didn't like, not sure why, I think it might have something to do with the fact I have been using Gnome for last couple of months so I am used to it. Which is weird considering I used to hate Gnome and loved KDE a while ago.

Gnome, hey I like their implememtion of it, but for me in some areas feels unfinshed and not as refined as other distos.

Over all I think Opensuse probably is a fantastic OS, but it just irritates the hell out of me.

Hence the reason it seems I am a Fedora and Ubuntu man.

I use kubuntu (with KDE 4) on some computers and ubuntu with the default gnome on others. I like both of them. I love the Dolphin file manager!

I would like to know how long it is going to take for it to appear on the DVD in LinuxFormat magazine. Too big to download

EDIT : from their website

Grab a copy of Linux Format issue 109 (on sale 24 July) to try out OpenSUSE 11.0 and other distros!

If Gnome had Dolphin as its file manager that would be awesome
