Heir Hasenstein, du ist der Mann (forgive my German). All I really ever wanted was someone to acknowledge my situation and give me a straight answer (God - I sound like my wife - lol). So would it be more prudent for me to stick with the 2.2.18 kernel (I'm likely going to have to re-install anyway) and wait for a more stable/user friendly 2.4.x version (and if the new version is the focus of the teams efforts - I don't mind spending money for it - I just want a stable and polished sys)? And, If indeed I should hold off on the 2.4.x upgrades (or default 7.1 install), when and how will I no that the polished kernal is out (realizing you can't give me a fix date, I'm talking about an announcement or something similar)? Once again, thank you kindly for the straight forward information and reply. Curtis Rey R.N.

Fair enough! At least there's a straight answer. I do appreciate you the situation. Thank you!
And quite a lot of VERY qualified people _are_ working on fixing all your 2.4 issues. The problem is we definitely can NOT afford to fix them one-by-one for everyone who calls. Instead, they have to fix it for a few hundred thousand people. The 2.4 kernel and the issue of making it run smoothly and painlessly as the default kernel is receiving the most attention of any package right now! And you guys DO benefit even if you don't buy the next release for which most of the work is being done, just look at the update kernel for 7.0 and 7.1 - the 2.2.18.SuSE is one of the best kernels out there. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com
