Replying to [comment:62 Koen]:
> Note: it might be reasonable to drop support for openSUSE 11.1, because
it will stop receiving security updates after December 31st, 2010 (the
release is 2 years old now).
It's a shame that support is dropped so soon in the Linux world - this
contrasts widely with professional Unix systems like Solaris. Solaris 8
was released in February 2000 and will be supported until March 2012 (i.e.
supported for 12 years). Similar patterns will be seen on AIX and HP-UX I
expect.
Not everyone runs the latest version of the operating system. For many
people, they don't update the OS until they buy a new computer. I consider
myself pretty IT literate, but looking at my computers, many don't have
the latest releases. I grew out of the habit of updating the OS because a
new one came out.
