People!
Using Suse 10.3.
Have I missed something here? Going to
http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories Where a lot of
repositories for 10.3 are missing.
Is 10.3 not suported anymore? Where have all the yast repositories gone?

Thanks for any answer!

There was an announcement on the build service mailing list about a
week ago that, since openSUSE 10.3 was going EOL, the openSUSE:10.3
repo was being moved to the DISCONTINUED: namespace and all builds
against it would be disabled. The end result is that the 10.3 repos on
the build service will no longer exist, unless the maintainer decides
to build against the repos in the DISCONTINUED: namespace.

The end of life for 11.1 is 12/31/2010, and since I recently fixed my
setup from KDE to Gnome, and I'm happy with the way it works, I think
I'll stay with it even though I'm testing the Fedora and openSUSE live
cd's.

But I'd update if I was still running 10.3.

FWIW, just installed the KDE 11.2 final release candidate and started
hitting buglets pretty much immediately (some the same ones from when I
tried earlier KDE version...and this is on a different computer
too)...anyways, I just nuked the install and have installed the Gnome
release today....will have to wait and see how this rascal turns out. Smile

What is the problem you can't move to newer versions?

Been there, done that… ;-)

Dug the trenches, upped the guard, attempt to survive the next
six months with 10.3; hopefully, by then 11.2 will be reasonably
stable. If not, I will move to Gentoo (very malleable).

I would go with 11.2. The zypper dup is something I suspect to be fully
operational in 11.3. That means updating from version to version by just
doing `zypper dup`.

SLED has the advantage of 5+2 year support. Disadvantage is that you
must pay for it, the price is not that high and as a professional you
most likely can deduct it. It will make the forced jump a lot easier.

CentOS feels to me like stealing from RedHat who have done all the work,
so I would go for RedHat.

Debian is good, but not great. It does not feel finishec to me.

BSD is an whole other matter.

So if updating is really not something what you want and all you want is
to run software, then go for SLED.

I hope zypper dup will be working as expected when 11.3 comes out, but I
would not bet on it. I would think that 11.3 will be working or even
12.0 as 11.3 will be the first version that will be the test and when
that is out, it might be too late.

I am especialy thinking about stuff that was not installed by zypper.

I don't run suse, rather Mint/Ubuntu, and I don't like to jump every six

months or 18 either. Wish they would stay stable for a longer period of
time.

They do. Both Ubuntu as well as Novell/Suse have versions which stay
stable for a long time.
