OpenSuse 11.0

After playing with KDE4.0 (OpenSuse 11.0), I have installed KDE 3.* . From what I have read, opensuse and other vendors have bundled a half backed version of KDE 4, they should have waited for KDE 4.1 to be out. I really hated the fact that Konsole didn't allowed me to switch between shells, using Short-Cut keys. That is my most used application, and I cannot live without the short cut keys. Even plain/simple Linux console allows that :-)

Most of the apps, seem half baked (WIP). Though I really liked the display of KDE4, and would switch to it, once it becomes stable(I hope 4.1 is better), and more importantly Konsole is improved.

OpenSuse 11.0

Recently(well just today) I installed OpenSuse 11.0. I was a bit excited to see
the all new KDE 4 desktop, that came alongwith. After installing, OpenSuse(OS),
the first thing I noticed was that the fonts were better looking, and more crisp,
then in 10.3. Note -> I did a clean re-install, not an upgrade. After browsing
through the system for a while, I noticed that Alt-Tab combination wasn't working
well sometimes. The configuration of desktop has changed quite a bit.

The thing, that was annoying me most, however was that I was not able to
do an update. Yast kept giving error, about malformed URL. Since I was
able to browse net using firefox, I was a bit intrigued. The soln was, I had to
configure Proxy under Yast,. And the proxy I was using had a diff port number,
which I had to give in the proxy's URL. So my proxy looked like
http://proxy....com:Port_Number , after that things worked well.
