Question

[humuhumunukunukuapu']

Is there a need to upgrade SuSE [ever] if I use APT to keep up with the latest and greatest packages?

It's something I have always wondered. Do I not need to worry until they release v10? Or do I not even need to worry then because I can use apt to get the updates they make to Yast et al?

Or will the packages for 9.2/10 be in a different repository than those for 9.1?

great for laptops

I have been running it since RC3, and they have really focused on laptops in this release. It installed smoothly on my HP nc6000, and everything works - including build-in bluetooth and wireless.

Nice job SuSE developers!
