I'm very happy with SUSE 9.2.
That's what I like about SUSE - they keep packages very up to date.
Hmm, not quite true... Mysql 4.1 is available (I was looking forward to it), but SuSE is still at 4.0.*. There was another package that was spoken about recently, but I forgot which one.
Note that suse's packages usually come heavily patched with bug fixes and sometimes even feature additions from later versions.
Yes indeed, you're quite right.
This isn't a comment on the specific case of mysql, I'm not familiar enough with it to say, but I can say that it's frequently not enough to just look at the version number
Indeed. But about mysql, the new release comes with some new functions that are not present in the current release (4.0.21), patched or not. ;) I suppose it would become messy, if (for example) 40.0.21 would have functions that, according the mysql online manual, would be present only in newer functions...
