I have been using linux since the very first public release. I dable in all Linux/Unix variants. I do a lot of support. I handle all the really strange weird problems that no one else has solutions. The problem is it takes time to find and know what exactly the problem is, and to either come up with a fix or to report it and hope that some one will be able to fix it. They have had problems with different things. Some kernel upgrades have made the system unbootable. So have had/experienced known bugs and have needed to fix their systems. Personally, I have had a lot of strange errors with 10.3 that I have not had with 10.2. The bigest problem is finding a way to replicate them. Many, I have not been able to replicate. In the past I would just have them use the repair system to fix things. As this currently does not work, I have to go to each of their locations and spend time trying to get the up and working to a state that I can work on them remotely. It has been a real big pain. > We might consider doing a delta later on, but for now it's more important to > give people a tool in the hand, so you can continue with the DVD you have. > Because people who bought a openSUSE box don't have much use of a delta. I purchased the box set. I still have not received it. I really doubt that it will work much better than the downloaded DVD. I have every client purchase a boxed set. I hope to soon get mine. I am really looking forward to the 2 DVD's. I am really glad SUSE/Novel listened to us. I have the entiry ftp tree that I am using. I still have a few systems with it that I am unable to install/upgrade. I have not had time to find out why. I talked with people on IRC and they have no idea's. So there is not a bug report because I do not know the cause. > > This is the general opion I am seeing. I could not upgrade/install 6 > > systems with the download DVD.

Yes, but many were just closed, with not enough detail. I still do not know what is causing them. I gave what I could. I did not dare use the beta on my production systems. I have to admit, I did not do as much with this beta. I have been under a lot of stress, to get some projects out that have very tight time lines. I am self employed/own the company.
