Absolutely no criticism of Tim intended here, (he only asked) but there now seem to be a good number of posts on the 'where on earth is 7.1?' theme - does everyone remember the same with the appearance of the last version or two - weeks of 'why on earth can't those guys at International Rescue / SuSE get a move on? Don't they know people are dying here?', followed by weeks of 'what on earth did they rush the distribution out in this unseemly hurry for? It wasn't ready, they should have waited much longer!'

I agree! With the new kernel, XFree4 and the new KDE, plus no end of other new stuff which might effect the central running of the system (I'm thinking about the new version of Perl, etc) 7.1 has the potential to screw up big time. Let SuSE test it, test it then test it again. Anyone who wants stuff sooner than SuSE can manage are perfectly welcome to "use the source".

Since 7.1 IS REALLY 7.0 (as 7.0 was really 6.5) and the initial problems we had with that, i'm hoping we DON'T SEE IT untill MAY ORJUNE and that it has had a seriously heavy testrun before we see it. scsijon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fergus Wilde" To: "SuSE list" Sent: Monday, January 22, 2001 7:40 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] When does 7.1 Come Out?

Hi all,

Absolutely no criticism of Tim intended here, (he only asked) but there now seem to be a good number of posts on the 'where on earth is 7.1?' theme - does everyone remember the same with the appearance of the last version or two - weeks of 'why on earth can't those guys at International Rescue / SuSE get a move on? Don't they know people are dying here?', followed by weeks of 'what on earth did they rush the distribution out in this unseemly hurry for? It wasn't ready, they should have waited much longer!'

I suppose we have to go through the same thing again ...

Happy late January to all, Fergus Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Manchester M3 1SB UK

...

Hi everyone, I was pondering the idea of downloading the SuSE ISO image, and burning myself a 7.0 CD. However, I was thinking, if 7.1 comes out soon, perhaps I'd download that instead. Any idea if it might be out soon?

Thanks, Tim

I, like Mike Clearly who also wrote, just want to know if we should bother with 7.0. I'm not encouraging SuSE to rush 7.1 (personally, I didn't think 6.4 was polished enough either), I simply want to know the release schedule. Even though most people don't make release schedules (Microsoft and to a much lesser extent KDE come to mind <g>), but it still gives you a ballpark figure of when the software is coming out (well not in MS's case...). -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
