What I said is to install the version and then keep it for 20 years, and have it updated via normal channels before it hits it's EOL - *after* which it cannot get any more stable than it is at that point. Then just using it for the next 20 years - it's stable, you don't want any new upgrades and so keep going with that version.
But you want to have someone spend their time in providing "you" with updates for another few years after the version's EOL yet claiming that you don't to have any updates because you want stability.
Perhaps you are allowing tooo much weight to "updates" as the majority of support provided to Evergreen is "security" updates *only*. Evergreen is a solid, dependable, "secure" system. You do realize that security problems are found in older systems? They do not become secure and remain that way. It is code written by human beings, *always* subject to errors. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
