It's getting close to bedtime here, but I wish to agree with what Richard says above and only add that it applies equally well to my recommendation to stick to openSUSE 13.2 when you _depend_ on a working system for 8-5 office work.
We are the same with 13.1. It works for us. We are looking to move from that in 2018 (we do long term planning for these moves...). We'll see what the landscape looks like at that time. The only problem we have had with sticking with an older release has been on a server in our company's DMZ. All exposed servers are periodically tested by an independent external company to identify security risks. Our server was deemed to be running too old versions of the exposed services. Updating some of these services on an old OS led to RPM hell. Newer versions were not available. Building them required newer development versions of many libraries. And the effect just rippled. We eventually decided to update the server. As a new install. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
