I really don't know because 10.3 was my first introduction. Does it upgrade like windows, downloading upgrades, or should I purchase the latest and install it over the present? I was told that we can't upgrade with our dial-up phone line on account of line interruptions
Get a copy of openSUSE 11.2 and boot from the DVD. Next decide to upgrade (no new install). Such an upgrade does _not_ touch any content of /home Nevertheless a backup is an advantage. SUSE suggests to go from one version to the next. For example 10.3 to 11.0 to 11.1 to 11.2. The bigger the version gap is the more likely the issues are.
