You see, I'm not running a desktop or some basement server. My business depends on these machines.
So does mine. And 10.1 isn't going on to anything mission critical for a while. That's perfectly normal, I don't like being bleeding edge in production. And I have no need either. For now, 10.1 will go on workstations and desktops, whilst production remains on a mixture of 8.2 and 9.3. There is nothing in 10.1 that is critical to my business.
You know, that's a very valid point. It is generally considered good business practice to use older more-stable technology when running mission critical systems, particuarly in the back office. My development systems - on which I test web pages and run programming - are still running 9.3. I don't plan to upgrade to 10.0 until I have to. Conversely here at work, many of my machines are still running Windows 200 (NT 5.0) because we simply don't want to mess with what works. (Please, no Wintendo jokes from the audience.) I believe that's the logic behind Red Hat and SLED. Both systems use older kernels and not-the-latest desktops. -- k -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
