Hi,

I am not so sure I would not go to 11.3, now that most major 
post-release bugs are fixed.

I have done several installs of 11.3 on desktops, workstations and 
servers none have had any kind of serious bugs, excepting the USB sleep 
bug affecting USB keyboards - now fixed in the kernel update.

Cheers,
Peter
