you didn’t offend anyone, you just seem to be uninterested in the good
advice you are getting…go slowly, all of this chasing the very
latest is just a easy way to break your system, and then you come back
here and expect us to fix it for you…
see, if you can’t figure out how to install a program (thread subject)
it is unlikely you can clean up your system after trying every thing
you can think of to make two tiny upgrades…

the guy you are throwing that at has years in Linux/openSUSE, and
years here helping folks–he CAN clean up his mistakes/problems
without asking anyone for help/advice…(and, by the way, i’m pretty
sure caf4926 has been running pre-release 11.3 since milestone one was
released back in January…ask him.)
Indeed it is ok to have milestone, latest versions
while you don’t break the system and open new threads about getting help in here
while you can cleanup after something goes wrong
ok, I understood!
thanks
PS:
First I’ve tried with MANY repositories and my software turned in a “mash”? So yes, I cannot handle multiple packages
I’ve tried 11.3 milestone 5?! (in virtual machine) and when I ran firefox it crashed (Firefox crashes at start Bug #608087) so I couldn’t succeed to make it work and ofc, I delete the vm because I didn’t had enough knowledge to resolve that
I have cm-6501 sound card and it is still stereo to me, not 5.1 because, as you can guess, I don’t have enough knowledge to make it work 5.1

I am feeling quite OK, thank you just the same. The workplace is jumping
to Win 7, feh (why bother), and Orifice 2007, shudder. They think that
Orifice 2007 being more 64-bit somehow makes it better, in spite of
insane, inconsistent, incoherent file formats that do not really work.

No way. It was only a bit earlier this year that i moved from 10.3 to
11.1. And that was only because it was getting too hard to find
repositories. Yes, i am very intentionally on 11.1 because KDE4 IS NOT
READY YET. It is getting closer though. I figure when 11.1 has been out
of support for a while it will be time to set up my move (most likely to
11.3 at that time), about the time that 11.4 is coming out.
I breathe quite nicely, well away from the precipice of the bleeding
edge. Do remember, i use Linux for ‘production’. Not as a fragile toy.

No, you haven’t. caf4926 has many years experience to support
experimenting with 11.3, a newbie does not and should not do much more
that get comfortable in the normal openSuse/Linux experience before
gallivanting off to try every new thing that can be found.
