Ain't Open source grand...
I've never tried SuSe but I understand that their upgrade process improved markedly when they hired on David Hassllehoff <http://www.hasselhoff.com/>to hold his hands on the machine that burns the CDs. He apparently absorbs all of the hassle from the process. Suse <http://www.vamp.org/Siouxsie/>are new wave trend setters. In response to this new technique, Microsoft fired up their OS effort on WindowsXPNextGen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob> and started the typical pro-microsoft marketing campaign<http://www.esquilax.com/baywatch/> . I understand Mark Shuttleworth is consulting with both Steven Seagal <http://www.flickr.com/photos/skyflash/76054061/>and Chuck Norris<http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/>to assist in "eliminating" all trouble with ubuntu upgrades. Seriously, My children finished upgrading their boxen to Ubuntu 7.10 - no CD; just a simple command. As it was network based, it only took a couple of hours per box.
