Kim,
maybe I'm not a marketing guru but for me it is logical that a UNSTABLE Prerelease of a Distribution can contain UNSTABLE Software including the Kernel. Do you really mean that even in Milestones only stable Kernel or other stable software can be included. In my Optinion this is handicapping development for marketing reason, and if marketing thinks that this is a problem then marketing needs to make clear that this is a unstable Release and not something you should use in Production.
And if marketing does not want to use the Name Kernel 3.0 then say 3.0 prerelease or RC6 or I don't know - but don't suggest that it uses a stable 3.0 if it does not exist. In Case only Kernel 3.0 is used - the this si also a marketing Problem making false promises. I do not see any reason for development to hold back in this specific case .
Stefan, the problem isn´t that the testing distro contains unstable software. That´s fine. That´s the way it should be. The only problem is, that the original announcement talks about "Kernel 3.0". Kernel 3.0 isn´t released yet, so it actually should talk about "a test version of Kernel 3.0, e.g, Linux 3.0-rc7-git8" that´s the only problem, not that a Milestone ships unstable software. thanks -- Kim Leyendecker (kdl@k-dl.de.vu) openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE HAVE A LOT OF FUN! http://www.opensuse.org Have you tried SUSE Studio?
