Greetings - My SuSE Pro 9.2 is getting a bit long in the tooth and I'm
ready to upgrade to "10.?" Should I install 10.1, wait for 10.2,, or
wait for something after that, e.g. 11.x ? Any advice would be
appreciated. KJM

The newly re-mastered 10.1 is fine, but 10.2 is not far off. IINBDFI. (If Its Not Broke....)

Yes.
Don't even try the original.
Sorry John, but this is wrong advice. There is nothing wrong in using the original DVD because during the installation all the new files are installed - it takes 4 cycles to achieve this so don't leave your computer at this stage. I re-installed 10.2 using the original DVD only 2 days ago so I know that it works perfectly. Cheers. -- "I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?'" George W. Bush 27 August 2004

Well its much faster with the remastered 10.1, saves at least two cycles, and I don't even think you can download the original anymore. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

True, only use the original if you already have it and you don't want to use up bandwidth time downloading the remastered copy.
and I don't even think you can download the original anymore.
Still there last time I looked (several days ago). Cheers. -- "I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?'" George W. Bush 27 August 2004

You can download the delta and create the remastered copy locally. The delta is under 200 MB, if I remember correctly.
and I don't even think you can download the original anymore.

So, you can not, except on some mirrors that do not delete old stuff when syncing. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I did an install with the original 10.1 disks, why did it get remastered?

Mostly to fix the zen/zmd/zypp software update system which was badly broke in the first release. Chances are if you immediately do a Yast Update you will get the fixes and be ok. Other than being slower than Yast Online Update, it seems t be working quite well now. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Since you are still using 9.2 Im going to assume you arent interested in the latest and greatest technology. I would suggest 10 , I never had any problems with that version. good luck.

/snip/ I had problems with KMail in 10.0 that were never resolved here. I reverted to 9.3, which is running fine on my other machine. (I'm not using it for this exchange, since I am having some printer problems, which I hope to resolve in the next couple of days.) If I were you, I would stick with what you have, especially in view of the Microsoft/ SuSE link-up that has consumed the list. As one of the other posters has already put it, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." And watch what happens, as the song says. --doug
