That sounds great. This has only been a minor inconvenience for me. Mono
is great stuff and monodevelop is a great tool. I was surprised to see it
break, but not overly surprised. I realize this stuff is still under heavy
development. I started running Mono on Red Hat 8 and 9, but it was just too
much trouble to keep up. SuSE has made it a lot easier, but I can't believe
they want another $60 every time they do a minor version upgrade. How are
they going to compete with Windows XP by doing that?
According to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/pricingretail.mspx the
upgrade price for XP is $199, which does not, of course include upgrades
to Office, Visual Studio, etc etc. You pay Novell $68 and you get
everything upgraded. So you get 2 and a bit SuSE upgrades for the price
of one Windows upgrade, and you get tonnes more stuff upgraded.
You can also wait a while and upgrade via ftp for free, as well, of course.
And lastly, you don't have to do an upgrade if you don't want to. You
only have to upgrade if you want the new features - in which case it's
not just a minor version upgrade.
Just my 2c worth (Welsh ceiniogau)
