Prev-Msg Prev-Thread Suse-linux-e May-2008 Next-Thread Next-Msg Subject: [opensuse] Distro Question Group: Suse-linux-e From: Jerry Houston Date: 12 May 2008 I have a Linux-curious friend whom I'd like to introduce to openSuSE. I'm wondering if the current 10.3 download is updated with current applications and drivers, or would someone installing it be starting back at the beginning, with lots of updates required? If the former, it would probably be safer for a newbie to start out with a solid, well-sorted-out 10.3 than to deal with the inevitable issues that a new version will have. If the latter, then it would probably make sense to wait for a released 11.0. I'd like openSuSE to make a good first impression - not leave him wondering why he ever agreed to give it a try.
