hiya kester, well i am from hudds, just down the road, i would suggest that you install the cut down version of 5.3 now, play with it, mess it up, and learn the hard way of crashing the system, then at least you get to play with linux on your new brand spanking machine! ;) then when suse6.0 comes out end of jan, go for it, that's what i am going to do. I got suse 5.2 from pc plus also, well it was 5.2 then. I downloaded all the 5.3 from the internet, installed to zip disk and took it home, put it on a fat32 disk, and installed from there, but the best bet is not to do that, just buy the suse6.0 when it comes out. I wouldn't bother with buying 5.3 now, not so late. Wait until 6.0 comes out! :)) byeee... :)) Craig

Could anyone from SuSe advise me (and probably hundreds of other users in the UK) about upgrading versus buying the complete version of SuSe 6.0 at the end of Jan 1999? I have just bought a brand new machine with nothing on it but with, naturally enough, things like a Matrox Productiva G100 card and a UDMA hard drive that are not particularly well supported by older versions of the kernal. I have the cover CD of PC Plus which featured a 'cut down' version of 5.3. Should I :- a) install 5.3 from this single cut down CD and then buy an upgrade version of SuSe 6.0? b) buy and install a complete (ie 5 CD) version of 5.3 and then upgrade as in (a)? c) wait until 6.0 becomes available and buy the full (ie non-upgrade) version at the end of Jan? It would be particularly galling for me to have to take (c) as the safest 'sensible' option, as I want to start using my beautiful new machine a.s.a.p... :-)

Many thanks

Kester Clegg York, UK.
