Sorry to say but I think just as a matter of a Public Relations exercise this should be done.
Afterall, the original CDs were burnt from some list of applications to be put on each CD, and someone must be tracking all the updates to the various applications in SuSE so it isn't beyond someone's capability to supply the list of files to go on a new set of CDs.
I've long been a champion of SuSE Linux, yet with the debarcle that is 10.1updates I've personally remained on 10.0 until it's fully resolved. I still can't claim to have the confidence to move up my production desktops to 10.1. A respin of the ISOs once fully resolved is prudent, as it will ensure the likes of people like me look in again on 10.1... which to date I've avoided like the plague. The issue is large enough that for many users SuSE Linux 10.1 isn't a workable solution. :( Yes I do know of Smart PM, but out of the box is doesn't work. I think the lesson here is to ensure key items like updates are tested heavily prior to shipping a 'release'. I personally would prefer to see a stable +.1 release every 12 months (instead of 6) if the quality and polish we've known from SuSE was there. I can't say that 10.1 gives me that confidence. :( It's a shame... I did like the work done on the 10.1 and have been looking forward to running it. I guess at this stage... I may be waiting until 10.3. Cheers, Matt. -- Matt Bottrell mbottrell@gmail.com
