Depends on which end you see yourself. It's of course not for the Low-end users :-P And it's not for whiners. My experience: it is less work to keep a constantly updated Factory system running fine without major problems, than to update from $RELEASE-1 to $RELEASE 1.5 times per year and then fixing all the breakage that comes in one big hunk. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
