I've been running openSUSE since S.u.S.E. (I think it was spelled like that) 8.0 both in work as well as home. And I've always had problems in updating the system at home - where I can't just buy a new server every other year. Currently I'm still running 11.3 which has degraded really badly. I've reached EOL with openSUSE previously, but never has the repos disappeared or died like now. So, it's painfully clear that I need to update.

First question is, which "version?" I mean, just the regular, some evergreen or tumbleweed?
evergreen is particular opensuse versions designated for longer term support by volunteers. tumbleweed is "rolling release" supported primarly by Gregg KH, gregkh@suse.de. I have a server running 11.2-evergreen and have been satisfied. imnsho, either would be a good choice. Evergreen is targeted at five years, iirc, and you would probably be replacing hardware about then. Tumbleweed will last as long as it is popular. Both depend on supporters. For a home server w/o outside access, I would guess any version would do as long as you don't have hardware difficulties. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
