Re:Why is is better ? + version numbering (Score 1)

I agree that version numbers are out of control. I think it started around Red Hat/SuSE 6.0 time frame. Then, suddenly, it seemed SuSE (or Mandrake), released an iteration *above* the forthcoming Red Hat release. (Actually, come to think of it, has Mandrake actually released 7.x versions before 7.1? Or should it be more like 2.x release?)
