Yes, this needs Shad’s comment.
I can see the attractiveness of it due to the huge number of updates.

Earlier in the week I took the plunge to upgrade my only (and live) 7.6 server to SME 8.0. Over all it was a fairly painless process but the first chance yum had at updating the system it installed a new kernel, upgraded 161 packages, installed 7 new ones and downloaded 254 MB to do so. That's 40% of the size of the full ISO! It also took almost as long to process that lot as doing the upgrade, probably longer if you take out the time taken to test the CD during installion. For some one installing SME 8.0 on a fresh system having all those updates being applied doesn't create a particulary good impression. Yeah, OK do a fresh install of Windo ws and it'll pull umpteen million updates down but that is Windows, not SME 8.0. B-) Think this was discussed before nut can't remember the outcome. I don't disagree but would be grateful for the devs comments (once Shad has recovered !!) B. Rgds John -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
