[tdf-discuss] Advice

Hi...no problems...just asking for advice.  I have been testing the beta 
builds of LO since it came out and
use openSUSE as my main operating system.  On my "production" machine, I 
have been using the "Stable"
builds provided by the SUSE repository which has worked fine.  If there 
any SUSE development people who
monitor this list, I hope that they chime in.

It seems as if the stable repository is ULTRA conservative...as I wait 
for updates to the latest stable branch,
they are still pushing version 3.3.3.  I have had no trouble at all with 
version 3.4.2.  3.4.3 is already in RC status...
why the delay?  So...my question is this:  With absolutely no trouble 
using the "vanilla" builds...I am thinking of
going to the LO vanilla latest stable builds.

What advantages does the SUSE builds (on SUSE) have over the vanilla 
builds, if any?  I am not too worried
about desktop integration, as it seems as if the vanilla builds 
integrate and work fine (and look good too)....

Sorry if this is a bother and cluttering the list, but I just want some 
advice from those "out there"...and/or any
word from the SUSE people what their master plan is with the stable 
repository.  The UNSTABLE is still
pushing 3.4.2 as if it's cutting edge...while 3.4.3 is already out 
there.  Of course, on my "production" environment,
I will be only using a stable build anyway...but I want to move forward 
faster than the SUSE repository is....

Thanks..

Bob
