In 10.1 a lot of the lack of speed was due to Yast/Zmd/rug, not the access-speed to the source. I always install from local sources, and I guarantee 10.2 is a lot faster.
Hmmm...can't wait! Why do I get the feeling that 10.2 will actually be version 11? I can see the discussion at SUSE HQ now... SUSE Engineer: All versions of software on SUSE now go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Management: Oh, I see. And the previous version only went up to ten? SUSE Engineer: Exactly. Management: Does that mean it's better? Is it any better? SUSE Engineer: Well, it's one better, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most Linux distributions, you know like Slackware, will be stuck at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your server. Where can you go from there? Where? Management: I don't know. SUSE Engineer: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Management: Make version eleven? SUSE Engineer: Eleven. Exactly. One better. Management: Why don't you just make ten better? SUSE Engineer: [pause] This version is at eleven. -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government.
