Re: final suse 10.1 - any news please?

Backup everything that you want to keep and do a clean install.

I agree completely; I tried "Upgrading" across SuSE versions, and it never
did well for me (one, in the 8.x series IIRC, was a complete disaster).

As you mention, restoring user archives to the new install has just worked
better for me--YMMV, HTH...

FWIW, in this thread, Chris Cox <125irm4dbk54967@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

YOU is dead... just when I was beginning to like YOU,
it has totally been replaced and it's pretty buggy
so far. Though they are supposedly working on it.
But this may greatly impact online updates as well
as simple upgrades to existing installations.

Yast Online Update is one of the features that makes SuSE my choice. If it
gets hosed for buggy Zenworks or whatever I won't be happy. But if I still
supported commercial enterprise(s), and YOU got hosed, I'd be livid.

Anyway, yet another reason to find a beater box for a testdrive before the
production gear and jobsite is sent out into the weeds with betaware.
