All,
I installed 10.2 on a couple machines this month. Just realized they
will go out of support in 15 months.
Amazing how a 2-year commitment turns into a 15-month reality.
Also, given the recent release cycle, only 2 new openSUSE releases
will come out in that 15-months. ie. 10.3 in a couple weeks, and 11.0
10 months later.
Effectively to stay supported we need to upgrade every other release.
ie. I assume when 10.2 loses support at the end of 2008, 11.0 will
still be the latest.
When there was a release every 6 months, we could just upgrade every
fourth release and stay with supported releases.
We've all seen releases we would just as soon skip. What if you get
two of those in a row now?
Greg
