Well, I think Mads was correct when he told me this wasn't really a feature add release, but a "let's make it as stable as we can" release. It reminds me a lot so far of how stable 7.2 was for me. :)

I'm just hoping that SuSE keeps this sort of release structure going, unlike that Other Linux Company, who recently decided to make their "consumer" version a continuously-running beta. I hoping the fact that SuSE 8.2 is much more solid release than Pink Sombrero 9 shows up in the commercial revenue department. I'm a *long* time Scarlet Cap user, and I have become completely disenchanted with their 8 and 9 releases. Just try taking a look through their email lists. It's a totally different situation. The majority of the messages there are like, "Foo is broken; how do I fix it?" The majority of the messages in this list are like, "Hey, I'm trying something new; how do I do this?" There's a part of me that wants to stay with the biggest Linux company, but not at the expense of quality. I could go on. Someday, I really need to vent my spleen about the situation. The bottom line is that I think SuSE 8.2 is great, and when it comes to commercial consumer distros, I think they're going to run away with market share. At least I voted with my dollars. -- dk
