It's pathetic! They might as well drop the decimal point, it doesn't seem to mean anything anymore. I actually prefer microsoft's approach, to lose the version numbers completely and use different labels instead "SuSE linux GTI" anyone?

Exceptionally OT I know, but if we could leave the abbreviations, GLX, GT, XR? etc to those who profess great things and deliver little .. and leave the marques of quality i.e. Silver Shadow, Carmague, Vantage etc to those that warrant it...... 8.2 hopefully !

What is going to happend if you ran out of all thoughtful labels? Is it going to be the same Winblows oxymoron with their CE/ME/NT/XP labeling? How would you tell a difference, judging by the label only, which SuSE version is older or newer than other? Probaly the better way is to add the year of release to existing SuSE Linux version number. E.g. SuSE Linux 8.2-03 -------------------

Solaris 9 has three updates...and their all Sol9 but they have the date on the box...since they do new build and releases once a quarter. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
