Re: [SLE] Discontinued SUSE Linux Distribution: 9.1
"SUSE Security announces that SUSE Linux 9.1 (Personal and Professional edition) will be discontinued soon. Having provided security-relevant fixes for more than two years, vulnerabilities found in SUSE Linux 9.1 after June 15 2006 will not be fixed any more for this product.
As a consequence, the SUSE Linux 9.1 distribution directory on our ftp server ftp.suse.com will be moved from /pub/suse/i386/9.1/ to the /pub/suse/discontinued/ directory tree structure to free space on our mirror sites. The 9.1 directory in the update tree /pub/suse/i386/update/9.1 will follow, as soon as all updates have been published." OK, this begs the question I often wonder, How long do you keep older software? I mean it's one thing if it is installed, internally (no web access) and works (my old Samba sever for example, was on a PII 400 with Suse 9.0), but I am trying to get some jewel cases, so out go things like downloaded/burned Mandrake 8 and previous, older Redhat, etc. I have always been a distro jumper, to find out what I like and dislike about each one. It is a goal of mine, to make my own distro, just once, for my education purposes. Thanks all Randal

No it doesn't. To "beg the question" means to make an assumption that hasn't been shown.

Who are you asking? Marcus or the rest of us? I still have all linux distros I've ever bought, but on my machines I only have 10.0, 10.1, SLES 9 and SLES 10

You can start with Linux From Scratch. It's a great way to learn
