Wow, this is the first response that wasn't rude. Thank you.
I was surprised at how rude all the other responses were - that was a stark contrast to how the opensuse community has been at the forums. I guess the community is more patient than the actual project team?
The people who were snarky and rude should know better :-( On to other things though... If you need the latest and greatest kernel vs what was included with any openSUSE release, you can use the KOTD http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Kernel_of_the_day This of course comes with its risk of broken things - although in my experience it's rarely so broken that it doesn't work at all. If you follow the steps documented here: http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-tuning/cha.tuni... or here: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Keep_multiple_kernel_versions you always have a way out if the KOTD falls over on you. You can also take a look at Kernel:HEAD https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Kernel%3AHEAD Jos Poortvliet wrote a nice intro to Kernels in openSUSE here: http://news.opensuse.org/2011/06/06/get-your-fresh-kernels-from-opensuse-and... This doesn't resolve the "shelf-life" issue for you, but... that's something every fixed release distro has to deal with. At least you've got the option to use the kernel you want :-) C. -- openSUSE 12.3 x86_64, KDE 4.10 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
