Will 11.1 have

Support for full disk encryption? Like Fedora and Ubuntu? I use a laptop and it has to be encrypted. It is the only thing keeping me from being able to use Suse. I hope this will be an easy to implement option in this release.

Don’t know about 11.1 root encryption, but check Encrypted Root File System - openSUSE

yea, I am sorry, I have seen that but I appear to be to stupid to figure it out. The size of each partition and how many partitions you need to start with is confusing.

Do I need 4? if so what size should I make each, I have an 80gb hd.

I like Suse and used to use it, in till my bosses said all laptops much be fully encrypted.
