The customer wanted specific software, known to run on 9.2. You
don't change the OS on a customer without their complete buy-in,
and they hadn't tested it on 9.3.
I'd strongly advice a customer against some home distribution,
this is exactly what enterprise distributions are about. Home
distributions get usually quite to fast EOL for serious usage.

This was a corporate installation, with purchased SuSe licenses. SuSE
guarantees 7 years of support when you buy licenses.
Strange, never heard. Especially as their enterprise editions are
just 5 years supported. Is there any URL to back up this claim?

Seven was what I remember, and I just found confirmed this for SuSE
Enterprise. .

It might actually be shorter for the non-Enterprise releases: I didn't find
such an obvious link, and I don't have a box with a license in my hands. |

No doubt about the enterprise versions, but you were talking
about a *consumer* version with 7 years? And there seems nothing
that supports your theory?

Not trivially on-line, and I don't have a puchased box of SuSE in my
workspace. Does anyone out there have a copy of SuSE in their hands to check
this for me,. to check the system support time for me? |

is there any possibility of the hidden of partitions? i think no.
What is "the disk partition utility"?
