I'm a sidux and Fedora guy mainly, but every piece of software I run is available under 11.1. Even their version of OpenOffice 3 is 'unscrewed' unlike previous versions. I can never be a Novell fan, but other distros could learn that extra attention paid to the details make a difference to users. Like Fedora 10, this KDE version of 11.1 is very stable. On the down side, the partition screens during setup were designed by a madman. Unlike sidux, it didn't automount my second drive even though it formatted it right there during installation. Oh well.
