I have informed my clients that 9.3 is, and will remain my current stable supported
release at this time!
There has been some unrest over here for a couple of years already with "preliminary
discussions" between the various "linux user groups" for a totally Australian build and
release and the organization necessary to support it. If 10.2 is released in a similar
"problem level" as 10.1 Novell SuSE will die over here very quickly.
Users over here do not differentiate between openSuSE and Novell SuSE and will not
consider them separate, they just consider the first the pre-release system of the
latter.
This is not a flame, but a statement of total frustration of the increasing level of rework
again needed, and as one who has a very small margin and growing smaller as my
clients margins are also shrinking. Maybe what we need is a new lock on 10.1 and
all problems fixed and a new release as 10.1A before any work is allowed to proceed
with 10.2.

Certainly hope not! After have some clients buy 10.1 and some VERY bad issues
during upgrades, I'm holding off updating any more systems till a much more
stable release is available.
