Miserable release-change to openSuse 11.2-version from september to november! 
…with this time old 4.3-KDE (4.4 neare ~beta or rc november-december). Many other distros can hype much newr versions from KDE and Openoffice and KOffice and… now spring KDE 4.2 and from july KDE 4.3… Mbut many openSuse-people must waiting with older 4.1.3-version. OK - I know, they can update new KDE 4.2- and 4.3- and OpenOffice- developperversions, etc from factory, but not official…
I be disappointed

I hope Suse/Novell thinking again why it is coexit …for itshelf or for users…

Which would you take;
a) Early release with half tested buggy software (cough PA/Beagle/KDE 4)
b) Properly tested release without the aforementioned flaws?
Yeah, I kinda thought so.
And this is kinda Soapboxish?

Hi. You’re not looking for solution to a problem, most likely want this in the general discussion forum, so I’ll move it to where it will be seen.
Please don’t triple post, it maked ppl crazy.
OpenSUSE will likely never ship the absolutely newest KDE4 available at the time of SUSE’s release.
Integrating something the size of KDE with the stability people expect is not a simple matter of just releasing openSUSE the day after the KDE release you want.
As a general rule, it takes a month to integrate KDE or GNOME into openSUSE. Even the major distros that track GNOME releases, Ubuntu and Fedora, release about 5 weeks after GNOME. If you want KDE 4.4 in openSUSE 11.2 then you’re asking for it to be released in January or February 2010.
If you want newer, officially supported KDE and OpenOffice.org earlier than November…you will have to change distros. Mandriva and Kubuntu should be out in the next couple of months. You’ll get official KDE 4.2.x and OpenOffice 3.0.1. I’m not sure what they are planning in regards to KOffice2, but Mandriva is attempting to ship the first functional K3B for KDE4 in their upcoming release.
It’s ok to try a new distro now and then…
Sorry my trible-post - whatsoever went wrong - sorry!
but I speak not from me. I can update newest program what I will, but many others people (new users) can not
And I am care from openSuses images with old program in november and now over spring, sommer, fall, than we only wait new 11.2…
Other distros releases two version before openSuse 11.2…
it is too lang time wait.
I think the eight month cycle is much better because:
1 it gives more time for the developers
2 it reduces the number of versions being supported by one and thus releases more time for development
3 distributions that go for a six month cycle also have to make compromises for, as far as I can see, no real benefit
