Just for the sake of it, let's have a look at the most recent recommended update as announced on the suse-security-announce mailing list on the 6th of March:
--- snip ----- SUSE Security Announcement
Package: MozillaFirefox,seamonkey
Yet another User space application having NOTHING WHAT SO EVER to do with running Suse 9.0 or 10.2 or even 7.3 if you were so inclined.

Are you saying that only kernel security issues are relevant?
The next security advisory (from today) was about PHP ...
I'm afraid I just don't get what your talking about :-(
Greetings from Stuhr hartmut
I have been following this thread from the beginning, and I am unhappy with something. I am using 9.3, and it works really nicely. As soon as 10.3 comes out, all my support will be gone. What if 10.3 is a mess? I found 10.0 to be a mess, when my KMail started outputting 5 or 10 percent of my incoming mail in Chinese characters. So I went back. There have certainly been a lot of issues in 10.1 and 10.2. And there still seem to be, according to the messages on this list. I think there should be some sort of support for those versions that most of us agree are pretty problem-free, until another version comes along that most of us agree is pretty problem-free. Yes many of us--not necessarily me-- will upgrade right away, and find out if there are serious problems, and report to the list and to the bug site. Frankly, I do not intend to upgrade for at least a couple of months, until I find out what the cutting-edge folks have discovered. And then I might not. I want a system that works, not one that I have to futz with all the time to make it work. I am not qualified to futz with the system all the time, to be perfectly honest. I didn't grow up with Unix. One of the other things that bothers me is the continual changes to or elimination of things that work, in favor of cutting-edge stuff that doesn't actually work. Like Ann Landers, I say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." From what I hear, Xen is broke, the latest automount is broke, smart is at least bent--why this stuff, why? --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
