Second this sentiment. An upgrade really shouldn't take all weekend.
Ha! How often do you do upgrades? I mean, not a fresh install? It does take the weekend. The machine is up and running in 3..6 hours, but then you are adjusting configs and solving problems the rest of the week.
It depends. Desktops/laptops with every release. As was stated, these aren't really an issue anyway. Servers - not as frequently. But then for servers I use SLES. Even so, I don't find that I need to adjust configs for the rest of the week. I suppose if you count testing time into the 'time to upgrade' then my upgrades might take a while. (Not forgetting making sure I have a last known good backup, or at least a roll-back method)
I do upgrade, so I know...
Fair enough - everyone has a different experience. I also see from another thread that you recompile your kernels which presumably adds to your upgrade/tweaking/fixing time as well... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
