Hello
does anybody of the SuSE guys already knows how long there will be
security updates for the new distris of opensuse? 2 years as usual, just
1 year :-( or maybe 3 years :-)
( I would prefer only one new dristri every year and a lifetime of 3
years instead of 2 distris/a and just 2 years lifetime. but that' s just
my two cents).
And another question: who will produce and distribute the security
updates (and make the quality assurance)?
At the current time, openSUSE will use the same RPM set as the SUSE
Linux 10.0 distribution and so receive the same kind of support and security
fixes (2 years).
In the next stages of openSUSE with more package differences this will
likely be handled differently, but this is not decided yet.

PPC version???
Such a thing might just happen again. Don't hold your breath.
