I have to install opensuse on a laptop. I see two options: 1 installing 11.1 then upgrading to 11.2, next november 2. installing the latest 11.2 Milestone, then upgrading to 11.2, next november What is safer? 11.1 then upgrade to 11.2
How do you know that for sure?
Because you are going from one released version to another. The milestones are alpha quality releases. The need to go beta then release candidates.
I cannot see how this can be automatically assumed.
It depends on the exact quality of the processes involved, and also which milestone we are talking about. The 11.1 version has a reputation of being problematic, and it has a broken KDE 4 with major loss of functionality.
A late milestone like the 11.2 Milestone 7 may not be bad at all.

Some people like to argue just for arguments sake. The OP stated above "Which is safer". Which do you consider safer, a released version or an alpha version. As far as 11.1 is concerned, stick with KDE3 until 11.2 is released. That _IS_ the _safest_ route. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
