Obvious question is, which one?
I run two boxes, one as a server and the other just a desktop.
Why does it got to be just ONE?
Leap for the server. (just keep up with updates occasionally, or when you hear about significant vulnerabilities. After each point release - update to the new version. 42.2--->42.3 No need to re-install. Just do the in-place update. No actual reason to keep day by day updates.
But 42.3 -> 43.0 (aka Leap 15.0) is likely just 18-months away or less. That's a once every several years event for Leap and should have some updates that have been queued up for a couple years. Updates that are likely already in Tumbleweed.
Sure, but so what? What's your point? Is the lack of those updates that are queued up hurting him in any way? How much better will his life be if he updates his server to tumble weed and has to apply rolling updates weekly, sometimes daily? Its his server we are talking about here. Not his workstation. An in place upgrade from one opensuse release to the next is almost always uneventful. Other than a few kernel tweaks and security fixes along the way what else to you need in the server? I go MONTHS without touching my server machines.
If you fear that pain, I'd seriously consider Tumbleweed until Leap 15.0 comes out a year plus from now.
Again, its a server I'm talking about. There's more pain in tumbleweed than in Leap. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
