I got problems downloading patches for SuSE 8.2. Is it outdated already? I saw there was a mail that it will be outdated.
Depending on the answer I will have to switch to a newer distro or not.
SuSE 8.2 is discontinued since the release of 9.3. Supported versions are always the last 4 -- 9.3, 9.2, 9.1 and 9.0 at the moment.

SUSE 8.2 was quite a good distro and I really liked it! I will keep it for sure for some desktops inside my firewall. Until they run without (~major) issues. Just in case you are interested in the archived updates, please have a look into ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/discontinued/i386/update/8.2/ (But you should know about, that it's an archive of older stuff and _no_ new updates are prepared/added there! That's simply because the above reason: SUSE 8.2 is not supported anymore...) Regards, Pelibali
