im not even sure if i can recommend 10.2 right now. i installed 10.2 alpha4 on a test box, and theyre doing some funky things with the menu system and such..... even thats broken at this point. i couldnt get it to work. tried updating, and the same problems exist..... brand new install, and dependency issues?, but, ill give them the benefit of the doubt........ it is not released yet.
Benefit of the doubt? Recommend it right now??? It is ALPHA! Alpha in computer science terms means "this is known not to work, don't install unless you are a tester or developer and are prepared for things to break and to give constructive feedback in the form of bug reports or patches" Complaining about the non-working status of an alpha release basically is the same as saying you don't know what it is
