Fairly ready, then I guess. As far as I understand, reiserfs is fine. The change to ext3 is included now because of expected future changes. The developers want to make sure everything works smoothly before new versions are out and requiring other changes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On 10.1, I found it effective to uninstall zmd, zen-updater, mono, etc. Then
YaST and its online update module can be used to maintain a system with a
manually added update server. It ends up working like in 10.0.

Are you going to revote every time someone complains and a few other people agree? It is much better for there to be an opensuse policy for all lists and people can accept it or leave. Yes, a democracy can be a wonderful thing but these decisions have to stick around for some long period of time. You can't get anything productive done if you have to revote every time someone complains and others agree. The initial decision was made based on some reasoning, I assume. Not just your personal preference. Is there really a valid reason to consider changing this now? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know where you got the idea that developers are not interested in correcting these problems. The developers I know are very concerned about improving these problems and are already hard at work improving and planning. Why do you think there is a test release of 10.2 alpha? It is to allow the community to provide more feedback about the problems and whether fixes getting implemented are solving the problems or creating new ones. I'm sorry to hear that you have had so many problems with openSUSE vs. SUSE Linux, but you might want to do more research into the differences in the products. Software changes with time. Do you really expect all your older hardware to work with the next new version of Windows? There are big license issues that Novell cannot and will not violate. What other companies do and what you personally do is beyond Novell's control. But SUSE and Novell are making a serious effort to avoid providing software that violates licenses and copyrights. If you have hardware that is not supported in the products, you might want to talk to the manufacturer and let them know that you want to use their product with Linux and want them to provide the appropriate drivers. You might also want to let them know that your preferred Linux distribution only allows open source licenses, so they might want to take that route with development. Unless enough consumers demand this, companies will not see a need to support this. If you are looking at purchasing new hardware, I strongly recommend researching Linux support before making your purchase. If you purchase from companies that do provide open source drivers or allow those to be developed by not using proprietary protocols, those companies are likely to continue doing so. If you would prefer to just keep using Microsoft Windows, the decision is yours.
