And the rest who had a hand in settling on an 8 month release cycle to replace
the six-month shotgun approach that has seemingly killed QA for every
distribution that has tried it. Good job.

But that means that 11.2 is eleven-months away!

How can 11.2 be 11 months away on an 8 month cycle? Since 11.1 was
released December 2008 11.2 will be released in July 2009.

I've just
completely given up on 11.1 for new installations going to
regular users, so I guess we'll have time to really become
comfy with 11.0.

BTW, I've been having problems with 11.1's graphics when
used with Nvidia cards. Various cards were tried, with
KDE 3.5, but the screens still get borked. This was a
fresh install from dvd with all the recommended yast updates.
I don't have time to chase plasmoids (or whatever) around
the screen, watching them change size while becoming frozen.


I have 11.1 installed with Nvidia and KDE 3.x without problems using the
drivers supplied by Nvidia in their repository.
