Nothing wrong with that. Lots of people here are using version one or two (or even more) releases back.
Whatever you decide, there are pros and cons. One release back has more fixes available/applied, and generally is more stable. On the other hand the latest release has a more up-to-date software selection, new features/functionality, possibly better hardware support, and a newer kernel. But... you can set up your repositories to grab the latest version of most apps too... so you're not left behind.
Oh I see.
You use what works for you. The main risk is if the version you are using is outside the patch/update support window... then you no longer get security patches. 11.4 is still supported, so no probs, just have fun learning....
Ah well, then I remain with what I have....11.4
and when you post a request for help be specific about what version you're working with.
Sure. And apart from it I would google also but the problem with "google" is that it depicts sites which directly tell you from the apex side considering even the home users the 'experts' as if they are admins of Suse, and it is what I hate. See how cute is openSUSE's policy, it says, 'Make openSUSE the easiest Linux for anyone to obtain and the most widely used Linux distribution'. Here the word 'easiest' comes in the policy of openSUSE and implemented too, that's the biggest plus point. -- THX -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
