Nope, and a few months.

Yup, just the point I want to make. FOR A NEW CHUM, SuSE IS THE BEST. 
I guess we do want to get new people onto Linux?????

I guess there may be more people with practical common sense on this group
then you imagine. I'm sure most can come to a sensible conclusion, based on
many, not just my opinion. 
(By the way, everyone is entitled to my opinion, if they want it.)

like Debian, stay with it. NEVER FIX, WHAT ISN'T BROKEN.
