SUSE hasn't released a version with a different schedule by architecture for quite some time. When SLES10 came out, it was for all platforms on that same day. SUSE has had a single, common, code base for a long time now. I still don't think Red Hat is quite there yet, based on the fact that they have SRPMs on their servers for each architecture.
And yes, the two distributions, as should be expected based on their release cycle, are leapfrogging each other in terms of kernel versions, as well as a lot of other packages. I wouldn't expect them to be in synch unless their release cycles were.

Looks like they're leapfrogging. My FC5 x86 machine is 2.6.17. I forget whether Red Hat said they would be going that high in RHEL5 (probably not), but if they are doing it for Intel, they'll be doing it on z. Is SLES10 for x86 out already? Is Suse still releasing x86 and z out-of-sync with each other? Red Hat releases new versions and updates for all archs at the same time. Makes it easier to keep our x86 and zSeries systems consistent. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
