About the version numbering, it has already been stated that the numbering has no real purpose, exept for marketing, so let's leave it at that. I asume that when SLES and SLED come out, openSUSE will become openSUSE 11. (Yeah, it goes to eleven)
Year number version could be nice and informative; for instance, some new chap buying it on a shop would know if he was getting the latest or not.
I don't agree. But it's just a subjective opinion. Having the year or month release -- I can't personally see a benefit to that. Will I really care that I am using the SUSE released in Dec 2006 in a year from now? All I really care about is that I am using a good and stable release. What might be interesting and useful might be tacking on something to distinguish exemplar releases. Perhaps based on least amount of bugs/complains/issues received by SUSE teams 6 months after the release. So for example, you might having something like this for the 9.x series. - SUSE 9.0 - SUSE 9.1+ - SUSE 9.2 - SUSE 9.3 I have no idea how practical or doable something like this would be. Am I am sure holes can be poked at the idea. It's just an idea. -- "Develop success from failures.
