Yes, excluding openSUSE 11.0, opensuse is a stable distro. Hopefully, openSUSE 11.1 is stable again like ussual.
I hear stability a lot -- Is there anything specifically about openSUSE that is more stable than others?
Not looking to knock other distros or anything -- just want to quantify "stability" a little further.

Stability shows through well tested software we have in openSUSE. For example, ubuntu lives with software that is mostly unstable, and there you have a lot of problemas like applications freezing. And Mandriva used to hang just too much to me so after a week never used it again.

While I think Ricardo makes some great examples, are we able to quantify that with any statistics that show users have fewer problems on openSUSE than others? I think just using those examples without any real quantification runs the risk of Joe having to respond to audience members saying "Hey, just because that guy didn't install very well, or had bad hardware, don't paint us as a crappy distro." I'm sure the others do some testing. The focus should be then, why our testing methodologies are better than theirs, thus leading to such stability. Or is it because our upstream contributions usually give birth first by testing on an openSUSE box? -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
