KDE4 is not mature enough to be a replacement for KDE3.
Though, I'm using it (but with kde3 installed).

Look at the facts! FSF is working on GNASH and DOTGNU; whilst they work on Moonlight and Mono (Remember Mono works upon .NET). What about the M$ - Novel deal; clearly they are working with M$ against community. Ahh what about Novel position about OOXML? mmmmhhh Maybe Novel was bought by M$. Now I use Debian.

"openSUSE is a community project, sponsored by Novell, to develop and maintain SUSE Linux components. After their acquisition of SUSE Linux, NOVELL HAS DECIDED TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY AN IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY." (i've highlighted the important part)
I think Novell are pretty keen on not turning on the comminity, considering openSUSE is develped by the community (and a few Novell representatives).
I think you are just blinded by your ego, you hate Microsoft to much to even consider that SOME things they do aren't half-bad (like Visual Studio). Additionally, just because Novell is 'in bed' with Microsoft doesn't mean that openSUSE has become any less of a great product from it.

Novell has done more than most to work with, encourage, and sponsor the open-source movement.

And about mono vs dotgnu:
We are all using kde/gnome now, in stead of GnuStep.
So i guess we are all working against the community...

What scares me about mono is this letter: http://www.gnu.org/software/dotgnu/danger.html
Kde/gnome are GPL (free software licences)
Mono relies on .NET(.net is from Microsoft, one day they could claim to own all the code writen with mono)
DotGNU (is free software GPL,LGPL)
Correct me if I'm wrong.

OpenSuSe 10.0 has been fine and works any longer on my computer, but starting with upgrades to 10.1 or 10.2 nether worked fine.
I do not know what did change within the Distro, but indeed later version than 10.0 do not work properly on my computer.
I tried to install 10.2 on the computer of my father in law. Same result. This did end in a nightmare. So I decided finally to install Sidux instead of.
I use Suse since version 6.1.
But now I think about to change over to Debian. Perhaps OpenSuSe 10.3 do work better. Maybe.

I took a look at the screenshots and of course its configurable but I don't like those fancy vista-ish menu's with search things flying around everywhere which slow down your system while indexing. They try to make it too easy, but that's my opinion.
I hope it'll exists for a long time though, it's a great distro for ppl who are new to linux or who ... just like it!

And one thing is certain, Microsoft doesn't like the idea of a high quality competing operating system which just happens to be free. Right now they are probably meeting with the Legion of Doom to plan the demise of opensuse. ;-)

I've used openSuSE since version 10 (used PCLinuxOS before) and have never had a single problem using it. I really hope it will not not be shut down, but it may. I feel it will more likely stop being sponsored by Novell, though I hope neither happens because that could force me to stop using YaST (I wouldn't mind it if YaST was only a package manager).

The SuSE distribution is continuously shrinking. Without these libraries, I cannot develop applications for this distribution.

BUT WHAT I REALLY HATE IS THAT IN RELEASE 10.1 YAST HAS BEEN CRIPPLED.
I agree with the people that also complain about this here. Yast and Yast update system was working great, reliable, and fast since the early days of SuSE, and before anyone else (Red Hat, Microsoft, etc) was able to have a decent patching and updating system.
None had anything working then, apart from SuSE, who had Yast and Yast-updater, WORKING (just working) since SuSE 6.0 or less.
Now, since this zmd shakeware was introduced, nothing works, and when the luck is such that something kind of works, it's just SLOW.
It's sad that now one has to hope for a newer and better updater (like a opensuse updater, or whatever) because the updater already existed, it was good, it was user friendly, it was reliable (very important for such a task, right?), it was called Yast. And now it has been crippled.

Powersaved just dont work, IMAP applications cannot connect to some servers, to others it can. MySQL gets error 1023.
I have used suse since 9.1 and have never found any distribution as easy to setup/use as suse, but after Novel took over the distribution I just found more and more stuff that just did not work.
The zmd thingy are just a nightmare. And now in version 10.2 just because I have packman, I cannot use yast to remove applications unless I'm online.
I'm really sad about the turn that opensuse is taking. Please someone, come with some really encourraging comments.

including a new update notification applet (opensuse-updater) and a console application called zypper which are non-zmd based.
just remove the zmd thingy and install opensuse-updater ;)
or use smart, works like a charm over here..
Can't give you any encouraging comments yet, because i don't have opensuse 10.2 installed yet :o)
About imap, how is opensuse involved in your issue with some servers?
