Maybe I'm missing something - but is it really two years ago since 9.2 was shipped? If the life cycle of each release lasts for two years, why can't SuSE release each upgrade on a 6 monthly cycle so we have a smooth transition between updates without any big gaps or overlaps? If ( (release_9_2 < release9_3) == six_months AND (release_9_3 < release10_0) == six_months AND (release_10_0 < release10_1) == six_months AND (release_10_1 < release10_2) == six_months AND ReleaseLifeTimeWithUpdates == two_years ) THEN CustomerSatisfaction = true ELSE CustomerSatisfaction = false Just my 2c. ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.karsites.net http://www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk This email address is challenge-response protected with http://www.tmda.net ------------------------------------------------------------
Just as a bit of feedback for the guys at SuSE/Novell - It would have been nice to stretch this window a bit to wait till SuSE 10.2 ships. - I have always found the x.2 distributions the most stable ones and will not upgrade my 9.2 boxes till 10.2 ships.
