I've been using openSUSE 11 in a <i>virtual machine</i> for several weeks now and it absolutely <i>blows away</i> the version in 10. Another nice new feature on the package manager (that I hadn't seen mentioned anywhere) is the ability to skip the auto-fetch of all the repositories whenever you start the package manager, especially useful if you had just used it a couple minutes ago so you knew everything was updated. 11 is a <i>very</i> nice release (well, the rc I'm using is very nice :P) “super-fast package management”

It would be silly to expect SUSE to change their deadline for KDE, though. It’s a shame it’s not shipping with 4.1, though. It would be silly to expect SUSE to change their deadline for KDE, though.

Another distribution besides Mandriva that did a very good job packaging KDE 4. I've also tested Kubuntu KDE 4 Remix but that one didn't work well. Looks like it will also take some time until all the distros get the KDE 4 packaging right. BTW, The Snak Peeks article is also <a href="http://digg.com/linux_unix/Sneak_Peeks_at_openSUSE_11_0_KDE_with_Stephan_Binner" rel="nofollow">diggable</a>.
