Hmm, that is a nice idea. But in practice I know plenty of *production* machines run Fedora and OpenSUSE, usually beyond their support cycle. Under heavy production loads the hardware gets updated so often it doesn't seem to really matter. As I said, it's a nice idea :) Anyone who wanted to do that could just host a repo and backport packages to the last couple of revs of OpenSUSE. That would accomplish the same thing. Maybe Novell would host the backport repo, making it official? Linc Lincoln Rutledge Network Engineer OSC Networking 800-627-6420 this thread. I read that many responses to this release that I think the number of users must be extremly high. Most pointed out that they are not interested in cutting edge software but in stability. Don't you think a long time support release of opensuse will bring (more) people (back) to this great distribution?!
