Well, yeah... And so 42, which is a much higher number, should be the newest one, right? :-)
But that's literally the reason for my confusion. I don't recall how the numbering works and if they're actually different branches or just a rebranding.
% % Leap15 is the latest.
Thanks (to both). That's where I'll look.

Note that I didn't say anything new; I asked "anything different". It's good to know that my updated existing version should, at least in theory, match a fresh install plus any outstanding updates for it. In reality, of course, if I do go to that effort it'll be different because I'll use a 15 base.

Unfortunately, the commercial version (with support etc) SLE(S) suse enterprise did wish to change its numeration and for a chain of necessities (there is a large synergie between the both) it was at the end (after three versions 42.1, 2,3 ) decided to shift to the numeration of SLE that is 15. So the most current version is Leap 15.The 15.1 alfa is the development version. I did not find reference about which version you did run before. Depending on this it will be possible to have substantial similarity or dissimilarity to your former situation. Especially KDE but also Gnome changed a lot over the time. What stays the same (and will give you a good home feeling) is yast. FF is still the default browser. Hope that helps you in some way. P.s. if your PC has a separate /home for your former install, it is possible to read in the former system without having to play back any backup. Even some settings (depending on your previous version) could be restored. You may encounter difficulties when it comes to kmail (if your version is antecedent to akonadi based Kmail). In this case, before doing a migration, you may have some reading about akonadi and choose whether you want to give it a try or you wish to look at other MUA (e.g. Thunderbird.
