You can't possibly expect me to install all the latest greatest bells
and whistles hard- and software, just because _somebody_ might use it.

As long as SuSE 8.2 runs fine for me I see absolutely no reason to use
anything else. I did try to use SuSE 9.1 with kernel 2.6, but had to
give up on that again because the kfir driver (which I absolutely need)
doesn't work there.
