I doubt it will include KDE 3.4 if it is so close to being announced, unless they went ahead and included RC1. Sean On Tue, 8 Mar 2005 23:46:17 +0000, Stephen Boddy wrote:

Sorry to respond, The message brought back a flash-back from an unhappy past... I use to work for a huge company, where marketing/sales-people were considered half-gods, and release-dates WERE the word of God. No matter if coding was just 50% done and 0% tested: a release was produced.. "bug-fixes" would be produced later-on! Let us all just be thankfull that Suse releases when they see their product fit to be released. It's their name and reputation. Hans

Well, release dates are rather cast in stone at SUSE too. But believe me, if the release date had been fixed yet, it would have been announced much more directly then by informing ZDNet. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas SUSE LINUX Products GmbH

Some clarification on the whole 9.3 release thing.... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/03/10/suse_linux/ Seems like the ZDNet guys got a little confused :-)

That bothers me not even slightly. I get great long distance rates with a tool the phone company believes no longer works.

It hasn't, and I'm equally surprised. I guess I would have preferred the 9.3 as a YOU update. But maybe they're hiring more developers, and need financing? Max

A new Professional version is released every 6 months. A new Novell Linux Desktop version is released every 1.5 or 2 years. Professional is for "home users, sysadmins, software developers, technical enthusiasts". That is people who want the latest and greatest (like me). NLD is for "commercial environment", ie production use on desktops of non-IT people. Stability is paramount, code base is shared with SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server.

Or they could be releasing it to coincide with the Cebit opening up in Hannover, Germany. I don't remember them doing this before, but it could happen.

Yeah that was quick. And what happens after 9.3? Two digit integers for the version number? Ick. I don't like big version numbers. I think they should start over at 0.001 and increment that 999 times before reaching version 1.0. -- A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting.
