Believe me I didn't expect it to go nearly as well as it did. I have
tried upgrading various systems over the years (win32) and rarely had
good luck.
One of the things I always try with a new OS is the upgrade path though.
After years and years of being a professional software test engineer,
I like it when things break. I assumed I would learn some more about
SUSE / *nix in general by trying things like upgrades, etc.
Unfortunately everything went great, and I have nothing to complain
about! :)
