I think the thing about version 1 of anything is a good one.
*Except* as version numbers run on openSUSE, they are *meaningless* except to denote another different collection of applications. Version XX.2 will be different, but not necessarily better, sounder, more secure, less apt to break, (put anything else here that you can imagine).
Version numbers for openSUSE only denote *differences* which usually are not mutually compatible.
It's not just here either. At school we are not allowed windows 10 until the service pack 1 is out.
Windows XXX (put any number here) is not linux, but appears to be trying to come closer to linux by very devious and aimless routes.
As it's up to us to be able to justify our choice of opensuse, the leap version has come at just the wrong time as we've only just proven that 13.2 does the job.
You can pick yer pizen, 13.1 -> 13.2 -> leap42.1 -> leap-next But remember that "1" is just a number, a place holder whose meaning is unrelated to anything except the version after the previous version.
If you care to, you can search the archives and find supportive statements. The *notion* that 1 is worse than 2 is a figment of imagination. openSUSE!
Patrick,
You are out of date. In the new world:
Leap 42.1 is a first release that correlates with SLES 12 (a first release).
As SLES 12 gets service packs, Leap 42.2, etc. will be released.
Leap will stay in the 42.x series until SLES 13 is released. At that time Leap 43.1 will be released.
Greg Hi It's SLE 12 SP1 hence the .1 == SP1 as opposed to the SLE 12 initial release (SP0) many moons ago... ;)
