I don't have a "test" system around now, otherwise I'd be testing a lot of diff. packages....like 11.0. ;) From what I have read, FF 3 will be a MAJOR release with many "goodies" not see or heard of before. I think MickySoft is going to have their work cut out for them. :)
Get yourself some cradles and put HDs into them and then you will be able to test to your hearts desire while leaving your main OS untouched.
Yep.......IF I can manage the time, that's a great way to go.
I have 2 sets of 2x HDs which I use to test on (and, oh, my wife's computer -- but don't tell her this! :-) ) and the 3rd set contains my main OS which is not touched until I decide that I have built up enough courage to switch over to the new version of opensuse :-) .
My "method" has been since 6.3, if I remember correctly, to test a current release on my "main" production box and a laptop. If all goes well, and after using it for a week or so, start to move other systems to the new release. I've not had any major problems yet with any release, except where there are hardware problems like no native drivers or a 64-bit driver when a 32-bit driver won't work, as in the case of Epson scanners. Because of the latter NOT having a 64-bit Iscan available, I don't recommend Epson scanners and mandate the purchase of HP instead. All, I guess I've been fairly fortunate, I guess.
