Hi, ->I think is a bad policy put in market a new distro so quickly. January is when 7.1 was official done and released..June is when 7.2 is official done and released. 7.1 hit the states 3 weeks later..which is the beginning of Febuary...7.2 will be relesed June 15th..I would expect it to hit 1st week of July. ->We sell (and use) SUSE but our buyers aren't happy because 1 month ago they ->bought 7.1 and now is ready 7.2 Not SuSE's problem. A wait and see attitude (after the review, bug fix releases..etc..is not a valid arguement. ->I think is better 2 distros by year and then you can upgrade your distro ->via internet, you can recompile kernel, etc etc. ->(2 months ago come into spain the 7.1 ) January to June ... June to January ..that's pretty much 6 months. I'm sorry it got to Spain late..it might do so again..so your looking at August..still more then enough of a span of time between releases. ->But buyers think you are playing with them. They believe what salesmen tell them 90% of the time. Explain the above to them and tell them they don't have to upgrade with every release if they do not choose to. Playing with someone and having a pretty well published release schedule doesn't work in this situation. I mean 6.4 was release in April of 2000..then 7.0 was released in September. It's a pretty spread out release cycle. ->If you copy the policy of RedHat (american vision of the market): put a new ->version before the competence.... then you have errors, faults, etc etc... ->I think sUSE needs the european vision: slow but sure.... And stupid can ->drive at 200 km/h but the most inteligent boy can't stop the car in a ->second without problems. Redhat does 2 a year. Mandrake does 2 a year. SuSE does 2 a year. Debian does 1 ever 2 years. *grin* Pick what you like and upgrade as you like. -> ->It's my opinion. -> It's good to have opinions..and there you have mine and the release cycle to back it up. Remember, just because reviews come out 2 months afterwards..and the boxes get to certain places later then others should be a concern when you are dealing with global sales...and these sales are 2 per year...I wouldn't say that was bad.
