Hi; Yes, SuSE does have a set release cycle and the benefit of the new releases is that the developed packages and such come to market from SuSE after being tested etc. Example are the new Samba which has been a hot topic, KDE, and the newer kerenl, remember the updates to 7.1 are at 2.4.2 and 2.4.4 has a _lot_ of changes and benefits, especially for supported devices. I think the Crypto file system will be very nice for those of use that use Laptop which can be lost or well stolen :~) Regards, Jon On Wed, 30 May 2001, Chris Herrnberger wrote:

Ya I read that, but still wasn't sure if all that justified a new upgrade. Again just curiosity as I don't really know what goes into release decisions.
um I would say the following but not necessarily in the order posted.
1. a quarterly release schedule 2 speed of OS development 3 internal (SuSE) engineering advancements 4 market share and penetration 5 security and new product releases 6. competition 7. other factors that Im not aware of at this time but sure to be corrected...er educated..lol
