Okay, I'm curious. Why - apart from the update snafu that has been sinced fixed either with an update or by simply using SMART/APT/Whatever - is 10.1 "a bad version"?

It was not "just a little update snafu"!! It's a major thing. It may not mean much to you as a single advanced Linux user, but if you are talking about a company that it trying to break Linux into the enterprise desktop market to replace Windows, it's a major thing. You hear things like that and then you wonder what other little snafu's are on the horizon.

Yes, if I were trying to deploy across several dozen - or hundreds - of systems, that would be a major issue.

I think quite a few manglers have decided to sit back and wait intil SUSE 11 or 12 because of that little update snafu.

...and I wouldn't blame them. -- k
