Yes, you need to watch out before you use any new version. That's why we upgrade our internal servers before any customers machines, to see what new glitches, issues, bugs, config options are there. That's why servers usually run with 1-3 generations of an older SUSE than is the actual. Upgrades are only done if necessary, e.g. when there's no more update support from SUSE (usually for the latest 3-4 versions, which means about 2-3 years). mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc --- it-management Michael Monnerie // http://zmi.at Tel: 0660/4156531 Linux 2.6.11 // PGP Key: "lynx -source http://zmi.at/zmi2.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: EB93 ED8A 1DCD BB6C F952 F7F4 3911 B933 7054 5879 // Keyserver: www.keyserver.net Key-ID: 0x70545879
