“What got me to look at KDE 4.2.2 was the unofficial
release of openSUSE 11.1 ‘Reloaded’ with KDE 4.2.2 packages. As Joe
Brockmeier, openSUSE’s community manager told me, “This is an
installable live CD, so it’s good for anybody who wants to run 11.1
without having to grab all of the updates since December, and for
users who want to test out the latest & greatest KDE without
having to re-do their system.”

“Brockmeier, aka Zonker, added “This is not an ‘official’
release, so it’s not gotten the same level of testing as an
‘official’ release, but should be a relatively good release and is
based on packages from 11.1, excepting the later KDE
software.””
