I still can't figure out the SuSE policy on updating kernels for their distro. Is it policy to produce a new kernel for each update, or it that a carrot held in reserve to encourage people to upgrade to the next SuSE release?
I never saw a 2.2.15 for SuSE-6.x, but 2.2.16 is a security fix, and therefore a priority. Will a 2.2.16 be made available?
IIRC, anything ending in an odd number is a development version - even numbers are release-suitable. If you want to run with the development version, go ahead, but remember, they don't call it the "bleeding edge" for nothing! --
