What an exciting day:
- The openSUSE team has an early christmas gift in the form of the second distribution release this year: openSUSE 11.1 - the best distro with the best KDE desktops.
Download it within the first 24 hours to enjoy the Akamai speed afterburner! - Also KDE 4.2 Beta 2 gets released today. Packages for openSUSE are available in the KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop Build Service repositories.
- Together this results in a new KDE Four Live release - an installable KDE 4.2 Beta 2 Live-CD based on openSUSE 11.1.
Have a lot of fun...

unbelievable progress
wow, this version targets exactly my points I thought should be improved
- I type xosview and the system says "You can install it with the command zypper install xosview"
- I type zypper install xosview and the system tells me exactly which process is blocking package management
- kupdateapplet asks me for my hardware profile and even tells me why: "Driver development is prioritized based on hardware popularity. Please send your system profile to influence this work."
I have now worked 5 minutes with 11.1 and I am enthusiastic! Please stay so user-oriented.

kde4 without kde3 software?
Ready? Sounds like "ready to be Qt4 only". If you would have tested the KDE4 versions of the remaining KDE3 apps you would know the answer.
installable live USB
Would it be possible to have this KDE4 live on a USB stick? I do have a 1 gig usb stick lying around, and my Aspire One doesn't have a cd drive...
Re: installable live USB
See this tutorial.

I just did it. The default installation is really mean, it only takes 3.2 GB!
