But for SUSE Linux the home user version there are no service packs. Just individual patches released through online update. This isn't exactly something new, it's the way it's always been.
IOW instead of one massive update, it's being done incrementally?
There are patches and online update for the business products as well. It's just that every now and then, they collect all the patches released so far and put them together on an ISO image (or three) and call it a service pack. It is then possible to install directly from that service pack so your machine will start up with all those patches, so the initial online update only gets the patches released since that service pack
