I'm running 12.3rc2 is a virtual machine, but am planning to redo my main laptop in 12.3 when its final. (Its currently hanging back at 11.4 waiting for 12.3). So the same question that comes up every time I look at re-basing my machine: Nuke and fresh install or Upgrade in place? Take my advice: "nuke" and do a clean install.
Nah, I've been doing in-place upgrades since 11.4 on my laptops and workstations. It has been a very solid trouble free road. Now, you probably do want to nuke and reinstall if you've trashed you machine with third-party or custom built binaries, or you've used dozens of repositories. But that doesn't apply to most people who have no business doing such things. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
