It's not like jumping off a cliff, but there are *possilbly* hazzards. I upgraded my home system as a test via "zypper -v dup ..." but I would not do that to a *production* system w/o having first tried on very similar system. If I break my home machine, I normally have a contingency plan and my server has mail and web, ... The desktop accesses required data on the server, mail, financial records, other data. If the desktop is scrambled, I can just reinstall and have not really lost anything but my (valuable) time.
Correct, but doing this on a separate machine is according to me, also, is a better choice, or rather I would reinstall fully since neither I am the admin (in computers) nor a computer guy but using openSUSE (whenever we have to do work with computers, almost daily emailing and documentations) is really better than MS, so it would not matter for us if we reinstall in some 2-3 machines right from the first step, however, this is the worst case when even after going through all docs and doing up-gradation in the correct recommended way also play any hazard(s) (if).
Only you can determine whether you can stand the risk to a system you control. If you cannot stand any downtime on your "office" machine, perhaps you should upgrade another machine and then replace your "office" machine with it while you do that upgrade.
Or maybe your upgrade will complete w/o problem and .....
Lots of maybessssss
yes and this should be to the every user of linux since up-gradations may be hazards sometimes, but certainly those times could not be decided by one..., random, of course. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
