This misses the point. It may work, but that isn't the SuSE way of doing things. So back to my original point. If SuSE is going to begin releasing software that's unstable, doesn't work, hasn't been tested or is in beta, what am I paying for exactly? I could just as easily get FreeBSD or Fedora for free and spend my $80 every 6 months (because I *usually* get every upgrade) on contributing to the free software project of my choice directly, instead of paying for software that is every bit as unstable as other free distributions.
I guess if you don't like it, leave it... There's always a fine line between "giving people what they want" and trying to be totally stable. How many times have we seen the comment on this list about "why didn't they include the latest version of <nameyourpoison> in the current release?" Learn this: They will never make everyone happy all of the time. You know that, I know that and Novell knows that. I am sure they are doing their best. I'm running the latest OO beta (.95) on 9.2 and loving it. So I am totally happy with what they have included. (even though I don't have 9.3 yet) Life is tough. Deal with it.
