Greetings

Yes, I followed this guide [1] to do a system upgrade to openSuse 11.3 to:
check the hardware performance (AMD Turion x2 1.9 GHz, 4 GB RAM)
and avoid overheating (hp design issue)

after upgrade, the processor's cooling fan was quieter but I miss KDE
3.5 so I'll upgrade the openSuse 11.1 default kernel to the last
stable release

@phani
take it as a suggestion
try to avoid "judging" from people questions.. I have been using
Gnu/Linux from long time and compiled the kernel under CentOS but now
I want to do that in the openSuse way
