John, > What exactly do you mean Suse has this feature?
I was at a Christian Game Developer's Conference in Portland last week and saw one fellow who was running Suse on his laptop. I mentioned this thread regarding Ubuntu updates. He said Suse is almost exactly the same as Ubuntu and it allowed him to disable updates. He didn't show me how it was done, so I assume it was part of the Suse setup. That is exactly what I mean as I have zero personal experience with Suse. I also have no idea what you mean by "repos" -- for me the term is associated with collection agencies. In my opinion there should be a way to separate ones' system from being part of the Ubuntu developer's testbed. I would be happy to live with the original install of Ubuntu 7 until Ubuntu 8 is released. I moved from Ubuntu 6 to Ubuntu 7 when 6 was getting too buggy although I'm not sure if the loss of features was due to updates or a virus. U7 has acquired one bug I noticed due to updates. I simply want a guarantee of no new bugs due to updates. Stopping updates is a guarantee. On the other hand, the "expense" of feature loss vs. the "expense" of so much email discussion about it is leading me to an "I don't care anymore" position on the issue.
