Hello Kevin. I was just about to post something like that but it was getting
too long. It's a complicated subject.
Personally for stability I would go for opensuse 11.4 and only yast for
upgrades. They also do a rolling release that will be a little more hairy. Some
one from the unbuntu stable might be happier with a move like that. Updating on
others can be a bit of a nightmare. :-) Some put me off anyway.
There is also plenty of info on using multiple monitors on the opensuse forum.
Probably on ubuntu's too as it's a console job and until some one wants kde to
do it and can also do the work it will probably remain like that. On the other
hand things sometime miraculously cure themselves.
Out of interest opensuse 11.4 comes with kde 4.6 and apart from sometime going
awol for a short period no doubt accessing the disc's for indexing there are
few problems with any of it. Often this involves typing ahead before the
desktop catches up , 4 or 5 char. Sometimes it can be as much as 10 secs. If I
use the machine all day that might happen 2 or 3 times usually during very
heavy web usage with loads of windows up. Also I may have to log in and log out
once a month or so or reboot a lot less often. It's been like this since I
installed it. :-) Makes me wonder what the updates are for - problems - I had
to recompile mount.cifs to get my nas to work as I want again even though I had
locked out mount.cifs updates. Nothings perfect that was down to a yast update.
John
