Looking back at the list archives for the past two years, it looks to me like there is a pretty good jump in activity around each new release. I don't see that this time, at least not yet. Could that mean that fewer people are having problems?
I'd generally agree with that-- other than then buggy acpi kernel 9.2 shipped with that caused some headaches with my laptop, and the "Only available on the damn DVD" issues, it's been pretty rock solid for me.
Yes. I agree with you here. I have not had any stability problems with the SuSE 9.2 boxes I have built after I made them work. Everything I was complaining about is related to installation issues and broken init scripts. Once you get past these issues SuSE 9.2 is better than anything that came before it. I just hate to see these minor glitches ruin what could be an almost perfect user experience. (The broken freeradius init script is inexcusable! It means they modified it from the previously working one AND never bothered to test it!)
Anyway I have a meeting with Novell today and will make my thoughts known :-)
Cheers
It's the darn install problems, once installed, it's stable. If you catch this before your meeting, please see if you can get them to open their test releases or at least extend the number of people testing. I was supposed to be on the list, but was not included. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
