ITYM 24 months, plus maybe a month or two extra.

Now there's some FUD if ever I saw it.

And that makes a difference how? I have files I created, and still use
on older SuSE[0] versions, as well as using them on later releases.

There's nothing wrong with that. I occasionally try out Debian and
Fedora, and even more rarely Mandriva and Kubuntu. So may you find your
foray into trying other distros a fruitful experience, and just like
SUSE appears to have always said, have a lot of fun.


[0] And yes, SuSE is the correct capitalization. The versions are 9.1
and 9.0, both before the rename to SUSE and, long before openSUSE.
