I can't speak to how many openSUSE users there are. The users are not the ones that direct drive this process though (all philosophical debates aside). They can express demand but it's still the developers and the template owners that drive the changes. I can speak to my own efforts. I have some zSeries mainframe experience with zOS Enterprise SuSE and my desire to work test scenarios using openSUSE on x86_64 containers. Consequently, I've been in contact with the SuSE developers and they've been quite happy and appreciative to have me do editing on the openSuSE template while I keep them up to date and in the loop. They do seem to be somewhat occupied by their "day jobs". :-) > If I find some minutes, I'd like to see if I can get the template to > choose which version should be installed.

Most of the templates (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Oracle) allow for version selection. If OpenSuSE does not (which it apparently does not - I just looked), that is something that needs to be addressed. I think they all suffer from the problem that they, by default, install a fixed version and don't track "the latest" or "the latest supported", which can be an indeterminant value. There are several other things which need to go into the openSuSE template wrt user and passwords. > Regards, > Johannes Regards, Mike -- Michael H.
