RE[2]: Updates Instead???

in reply to "RE: Updates Instead???"
I couldn't agree more! Some of these distros (openSUSE, Ubuntu, and Fedora...to name the major ones) release twice a year. That's too frequently in my opinion. It seems that I no sooner get my system tweaked to perfection then oops, I'm left with an obsolete system and everyone jumps to the latest release. It seems to me that packages could be backported to older releases more frequently and even new features. Why update the entire OS with such frequency?

Hell-OOOOOOOOOO????
Can one of the major distros just apply UPDATES to a base version of the OS to make it stable?
I like updated software just like anyone else, but wouldn't an UPDATE be more in order here?
The versions are moving just WAY TOO FAST here, IMHO.
I mean...we just got 10.2, with 10.3 right behind it and already they're thinking about 11???
