Re: [PLUG] SUSE 10.2 update
|
yea I guess. It is ashame because upgrading on a system where you have
lots of stuff running is a big deal and would take lots of time. So many
things would break. I think MS has done it better on this one. I can still
upgrade WinXP for security without breaking anything but a 3 or 4 year old
SUSE release is toast unless you want to upgrade. I know it was basically
free and has so much more capability than MS. That I won't argue with.
Are all Linux distributions unsupported in this way after 3-4 years or is
this more a SUSE thing? I would probably not install SUSE again but rather
move to a more mainstream flavor like Debian.
