Comment 7.0 ?? why? (Score 1) 114
i'm a suse user for years but i don't like this numbers game! currently i'm using a suse 6.3 system (updated to 2.4pre and xfree4).
7.0 won't be a major release at all. there isn't a kernel 2.4 (2.2.16) or kde2 (kde1.2 and kde2beta).
the 7.0-thing is only for marketing to closeup to mandrake and red hats version numbers.
i can't understand why those distributors can't use the kernel-id as version number.
7.0 will come with reiserfs and xfree4.1 as standard - this may be the only reason to update. ok- the easier installing (in 6.4 yast2 was still buggy, but who needs it?? ;-] )
the next bad thing about this version is the price- ok there is a cheaper personal version and a not so cheap professional version. but the price for the personal version is nearly the same of a normal 6.4 - but it only comes with 3cds... the professional is more expensive and comes with nearly the same range of apps ~1500 like a normal 6.4. the only difference is 7.0pro will come with some books (i think they will be only folders :-] )
so i will wait till a distro with 2.4 and kde2.
