Is this a troll? I have had far less trouble over the years with SuSE than any other distro, especially RedHat. And RedHat only has 650M of krap to install. Netscape has always been broken on all distros, so that is a moot point. I havn't upgraded anything and this is coming from NS. Which I leave up most of the time. This seems like the best NS yet... I would say that you should look at the other distros a little closer. my2cts. Derek Fountain wrote:
Is it my imagination, or is the 6.4 SuSE distro a pretty poor one as far as quality and beta testing is concerned?
Having just got 6.4, I went to the updates site to collect the patches which were relevant to me. I got 2 kernels, kpackage, kdebase, netscape, the X fixes, the Yast update, the gdb update and a few others. I left plenty behind. This involved a 40-something megabyte download - just as well I have a company connection. Most - not all, but most - of these fixes are for problems which were SuSE's fault. Shipping with a dodgy Netscape was a really stupid thing to do and just shows poor quality.
I can just see a new user buying 6.4, watching Netscape et al fall over, seeing that the fixes will take a day on the phone to download, then going off and buying Red Hat.
