But without KDE 4, openSUSE 11 looks very decent to me. People who say it's slow usually don't bother removing all the eye-candy that is there by default. There's nothing the in the binaries that make it slow. It's the default configuration that makes it slow, and the configuration is up to you.

What is slow about it? I do not have the latest machine. Actualy it is
already a few years old. I have ran KDE 4 for a few hours with all the
things I could find and saw nothing that would indicate to methat it is
slow.

It's not slow here either (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 2GB DDR2). It *is* slow on my Celeron 2GHz with 512MB RAM, and even slower on my Pentium III 1GHz with 384MB RAM. On those machines, Ubuntu (the distro I hate most in this world :P) is very responsive. Of course Ubuntu's default KDE theme is pretty much empty; it's the upstream look&feel.

And I'm talking about KDE 3. I don't consider KDE 4 usable at all right now.
