Hi there.

I've been successfully running the older version of Suse for some time now. Time came for me to want to update the version to 11. The DVD has been downloaded, updating button has been hit. and now. after the updates from the dvd not only it didn't upgrade to 11 but borked my 10 completely (for example - Java lost its updates, KaMix lost its settings, boot loader went completely mad).

Short answer: clean install is always better.

Why? Because it's guaranteed (ok, virtually guaranteed) to work :P

The issue with distro upgrades was one of the reasons I installed Gentoo on my primary PC (Gentoo is versionless; there are no distro upgrades).
I wish openSUSE had decided on being versionless as well.
