Correction 8.x should be 7.x (kernel 2.4) 8.0 was because of kde 3.0 Regards, Joop. On Sun, April 16, 2006 4:46 pm, Joop Boonen wrote:
I think it's the numbering is very logical. Only for 10.x it was a bit out of tune.
X.0 is the pre new kernel version. 8.0 was pre 2.4 kernel (2.4 was test kernel) 8.1 was 2.4 kernel 9.0 was pre 2.6 kernel (2.6 was test kernel) 9.1 was 2.6 kernel
My opion 10.0 was pre red carpet and other novell tools 10.1 has al this inside. An ofcourse the market made them move to 10. Solaris 10, Mandriva 10, Redhat 10 etc.
I personally prefer numbers as the dat or some wierd name doesn't mean anything to me. x.1 id newer than x.0. That is very clear. Look the latest version up on the internet.
I hope SuSE will never move to NT, 2000, XP, Vista etc. Instead of 4.0, 4.1, 5 and 5.1?
(May be an option might be an odd and even sceam like with the kernel, odd is test/unstable even is stable?)

I am curious how SUSE decides when a version goes from X.0 to Y.0. e.g. SUSE 9.0 was more, I think a buniness decision. SUSE 10.0 was due to the step to openSUSE.
I can see no real technical reasons (anymore) to keep this up. I also believe that it might confuse people. Some people say that they stay with 9.3, till 10.1 comes out, because they do not trust .0 releases.
I think that 10.0 is closer to 9.3 then 10.1 is to 10.0 and that 10.1 is more of a new line then 10.0 was.
So will SUSE keep these version numbers and if so what are the decisions to go to 11 (It goes to eleven :-)
I personally would drop the numbers and go with dates. e.g. `SUSE 2005 Spring` instead of SUSE 10.1.
