Off-topic for this list, but here goes: I got the update (professional) version for €49.95 which is - I believe - the normal price. I then spent Saturday evening backing up the system and then upgrading from 8.2 to 9.0, before reverting back to 8.2 the next morning. - I could no longer go online (cable-modem) - I could no longer even start mozilla (the script is now in /usr/bin but did not want to know) - the system could not find my keyboard map while booting up (German keyboard, this just can't be true!!) and sometimes hung at this point - my ext3 partitions were causing all kind of problems. Your mileage will certainly vary, but I will now find a nice test system to practice on before touching my main machine again. On the positive side: - the scpm schemes (?, this means the profiles) are *much* better. That will make testing easier. - Package selection while installing has improved as well, changing packages used to be a real bitch. - changing fstab during the install when the options turned out to be causing problems was easier than before - copying the DVDs to a spare partition and installing from there never worked for me before (probably I did something wrong) but it was trivial this time around. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html
