OpenSuSE 11.2 KDE: Actually quite nice
OpenSuSE kind of got swept under the mat with me because their 11.2 release came after several high-profile releases (Ubuntu, Fedora). I actually didn't notice they'd released 11.2 until someone sent me an email wondering why I hadn't looked at it.
SuSE was at one time my distribution of choice. The main reason then was because I could buy it at a retail store and come home with several discs worth of every piece of software I needed, and I didn't need an internet connection for any of it.
My priorities have changed since then, but the SuSE community trucked along just fine without me. Here's hoping this release is as polished as some I've looked at in the past.
OpenSuSE comes in several flavors: DVD, KDE CD, Gnome CD, and a network install. I chose the KDE edition for a couple of reasons. One, the person who requested this rant specifically mentioned KDE, and also because SuSE has traditionally been a more KDE-focused distribution and I wanted to try them at their best.
Time and bandwidth permitting I may look at the DVD as well, since in my personal experience the most visual polish tends to go to the DVD installer.
