Hmm does anyone else see a pattern in this? 6.4 to 7.0, 7.3 to 8.0, 8.2 to 9.0 There is constantly less and less "subversions" ;) Now since I've only been with SuSE (and linux for that matter) since the release of 8.1, I don't have such a great overview of the progress that has been. All I know is that 8.1 was great when I first got it but after I learned more and more about the system I discovered problems, more lately when I installed 8.1 on my server YOU would not work because it wanted a serverlist that had been moved or something. So I ended up forcing YOU to connect without checking the list first and it worked. Now I run 8.2 both on my workstation and server and has so far seen no problems.

I would strongly recommend taking an X.0 version carefully.
Why?
In this case, the version number is chosen by marketers ("we mustn't fall too far behind RH/Mandrake in terms of version number")
Same reason 6.4 was followed by 7.0, and 7.3 by 8.0 -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2). GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org
