**What I want to know is why are people upgrading?
Well, for the new kernel and the better implications that has for
firewalling. Since I once pid about the same amount just for a firewall,
it seems a spiffy deal to me. And while I could just upgrade , I also
would like the updated products and the other securety stuff ( better
encryption etc) that was left out of hte origional 7.0 distro ( my first
Suse ) Seems money well spent as well, after this, depends on the
situationi I guess, adn what my budget will make <G> ( after all IT
budgets also have limitations <g>)
All in all, w/ both full packs, I've managed to get this small group a
stable lan platform, where old windwos docos can still be read w/o a
reboot,
and we can put it on eveyr pc in the place for the onetime price ...
and I'm still underbudget for os repacement. More cafine in the fridge
and better muchies for all nighters! yay!!!! <VBG>
( around here, as I supect at suse, everyone seems to have more than
one job and 85 hour work weeks are not unknown, tho fortunately it's not
every week , it just seems that way some times;-)
