I also don't see more bugfixes than their should be or than anyone else - esp. the company you name - has after a release.
Hmmm, that a look at the release dates of the updates. Many of the 6.4 packages were broken right out of the box and had to be fixed immediately. If memory serves even Netscape was broken and needed an immediate fix.
It's not the number of fixes that have been released so much as the number that were needed to get 6.4 operational right out of the box that bothered me. That's why I believe SuSE needs to take a closer look at your QC.
not to diminish Gerry's problems with SuSE 6.4. However, I honestly can't say that I found a single broken package, yet. I upgraded from 6.3 to 6.4 pretty early on after it was released. When I upgraded I installed reiserFS on my machine. This of course required backing up and reformatting my drives. All I had to do is to play back my directories and go for the upgrade. Not only did it go smoothly but for me netscape worked right away. Perhaps it was just luck, and I certainly can't speak about the FAX packages as I don't use them. Perhaps it has more to do with how the system is set up at a user's PC to begin with or perhaps even hardware problems. Well, just my 2 cents worth.
