Well, I just wanted to ask if the new release period could be increased (just a suggestion) from 8 months to something like a year, so that we (not from technical side) can all have a good grasp at the OS/distro, can know something about it before any new thing come into picture... However, it's just a question of 'if' this is a possibility or not...!
Upgrade is not obligatory, I am running versions back to 11.1 on a daily basis and some of the are web and mail servers. So you do not have to update to the new version every 8 months or so

Then again I just spent a few days fighting with some hackers script that somehow manages to get _ROOT ACCESS_ to a few of my opensuse 11.2 machines, du apparently to a weakness in openssh.
[...] When I noticed attacks like that, I changed my ssh port from the default 22 to a higher, unused port. Though I was just getting 'fishing expedition' probes from script kiddies (in China, Brazil and USA, mostly), no perl scripts running, AFAIK. This was a couple of years ago, I can't remember which version of oS I was running.
