SUSE 9.1 FTP Version Available

Posted by timothy on from the teutonic-download dept.

twener writes "The SUSE 9.1 FTP version is now available on SUSE's ftp mirrors for free installation via FTP/HTTP (installation instruction). It's almost identical to SUSE 9.1 Professional except some few packages which are missing due to licence reasons. Also don't miss "SUSE 9.1: The Complete Review" recently published by DesktopOS.com."

    ok there is one little flaw in your logic that stands out like a blazing iron. And I don't even like debian ;)

    You see they call it backporting, meaning the security patches are in the new versions and they backport the patch to the old versions.

    You don't need to backport to unstable because unstable gets the new versions instead which include security updates and general bug fixes as well.
