Ok, so how many releases with the same version # did 5.3 have..6..8..10? Did you update it everytime it was pressed? I am wondering? :)
I have started at SuSE on 1 March, 1999, so the first release I saw as SuSE emp. was 6.1, and I had absolutely nothing to do even with that release. When you buy a car it is exactly the same - the same brand, same name, same version number - but the manufacturers make it better if they can and no one of the buyers of the first cars of that line asks for an upgrade. After all, they got what they paid for, an xyz blabla (190 HP). Should possible minor improvements be delayed instead? Excuse me, that's the life cycle of _any_ product out there!!! As long as it's no substential change like an essential bugfix, which will be made available to everyone, in the upgrade directory, why not do it? Printing a new box or handbook anything like that because of some minor upgrades that seem convenient? Who shall pay for that? I don't see anything wrong here. I repeat, I've nothing to do with the decision process, these are ideas that I'd also have with out @suse.de From:-header. -- Michael Hasenstein <A HREF="http://www.csn.tu-chemnitz.de/~mha/"><A HREF="http://www.csn.tu-chemnitz.de/~mha/</A">http://www.csn.tu-chemnitz.de/~mha/</A</A>> Private Pilot (ASEL) since 1998 -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
