Re: moving from 10 to 11, not so nice

I saw lots of reasons to upgrade a system from 10.2. So I did a test
install on of beta2 and found no show stoppers. Didn't bother with
RC1 assuming that there'd only be ironing-out of the rough edges.

General release 11.0 (fresh install) seemed fine until I tried to
use it. Even during installation, the system would wedge at "random
points". After I got an install completed, I worked out that it must
be related to the Nvidia graphics (with the openSUSE drivers).

I had all sorts of problems with the TV/video capture apps on 10.2/3 that
were resolved in 11.0. As luck would have it, those apps (mythtv, kdetv,
etc.)and derivatives have been my focus for the last month or so and 11.0
was a simple fix. It was even worth the hassles with Nvidia - that is the
single major issue I've had - and even the 3945abg wireless worked fine on
my laptop. I finally got all the systems around here on a common release
as well - that was another motivation.
