I disagree on this. If anyone wants stability, there's SLED10. And it has fast update servers too, no problems with mirrors or speed.
An openSUSE release will feel like an "old baby" if it has old components (kernel, X, KDE etc). Looks bad.
I disagree with you and fully agree with Martin's opinion quoted above. SLED is not an alternative to openSUSE. I think the release should focus a bit more on stability than cutting-edge software. With the build service in place and available software repositories for KDE, kernel, etc., you can always upgrade your stable release to newer components if you like. But forcing everybody right from the beginning (release) to use cutting-edge versions of software is not the way to go! You should realize that openSUSE is not a playground and test bed for freaks but used on many production systems, for instance in small and mid-sized companies, or even at home - those installations are actually used for work and have to function! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
