lol, I am not yet to reach there until installed it on my pc. As usual kernel, DE, apps... newer in numbers. At the forum, the testers said that this release is far more stable compared to 11.3. Hoping that will be true.

actually tumbleweed already started on 11.3, but mostly for trial purpose. They had some problems of conflicting repos between suse itself and packman, in other word if we wanted the bleeding edge repos tumbleweed is not the best option. Maybe they already solved it in this 11.4, we'll see how it goes.

Just completed the download after overnight downloading, but yet to burn it anywhere. Maybe tonite or this weekend I am going to install in my new rig.

never use live before, but for sure it can.

This is a stable release after 9 month of few milestones and RC

The standard release cycle should be every 8 months, however the time would drag more than the schedule if any new bug fixes to be inserted before the RC and golden release. But I couldn't remember if there were any previous releases took longer than 9 months

Not so fast as intended, the reviews from some fans saying that gnome 3 not really user friendly or in other word still buggy and need to be fix. In fact the current gnome shipped with this 11.4 is 2.32. Gnome 3 is still the preview version.

We'll see if tumbleweed would offer any option to upgrade to gnome 3 when the stable version released into the repo.

I don't have much complaint about this release, but the font renders not so good as before. FF4b need to be downgrade to 3.x as some flash contents not displaying correctly.

For many years, now I am giving this KDE 4.x a try and want to see how long it would survive without giving me the 'ladybug' icon.

Far from my place, if not sure I am in and have few of double Mc haha

Why don't you give the hardway a try.
The same goes to nvidia proprietary driver, we are requested to install 32bit compatibility driver to make everything working.

Just enabled the gnome 3's repo for opensuse 11.4 by adding this http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/.../openSUSE_11.4/ into the add repo. Downloading and upgrading took about 15-20 minutes depending on how fast of you connection are.

1st impression, buggy and ugly especially the fonts, not recommended at this earlier stage of integration. I am returning to KDE .
