首先是的确以前版本有一些严重的BUG，但是我认为也没有毕业很快的就推出又一个新版本。

红帽子，MDK纷纷推出越来越新的版本，实质的变化有哪些呢？

过于华而不实了

快倒无所谓, 关键是要重新装一次, 这才讨厌. 所以决定不换了.

u can upgrade package and remove bugs without resinstalling the whole system. so if u already install it, u need not upgrade it all the time.
unlike nt4 to win2k, they change too much. and microsoft do not provide a way to upgrade its system components one by one.
linux distributions are still loose coupled. i mean they are kernel + many many packages, so u can upgrade u kernel only, or upgrade u kde from 2.x to 3.x.
the problem is for many users, they want new packages, and new features. but they do not know gcc, make, config... much. so what they can do is to buy a cd and install it. that is why rh need provide new version distributions with new packages. no everybody know how to remove kde 2 clearly and install kde 3.1.
i use gentoo, i can upgrade my packages easily without reinstall the system. and i know which config files i need modify, i know which cflag i need use. so i need not reinstall.

I'm so weary of the frequently upgrading. I wish there would be a great junp just like MS did from windows 3.1 to windows 98. But there's impossible.
So, I'm using Debian testing/unstable now, hehe, daily or weekly upgrade is much better than what redhat did.

Dragonfly

yes, but the problem is that before win98 out, you had to wait for a long time and used that poor win 3.1. if linux can jump greatly so quickly, then we can not see MS soon. or we can see microsoft linux distribution soon.

过于快的升级给人一种不稳定的感觉。我不喜欢。

Dragonfly

nod, that is why i choose gentoo now, upgrade or not are decided by uself.

win98升级到win2k用了2年，中间经过了无数次的测试，确信这个版本成熟了才推出。
一方面，Linux公司中没有一个有Ms那样的规模和那样的开发效率和那样的实力和那样的信心；而另一方面，如果一个Linux公司潜心测试某个发行版达2年之久，这个公司势必会被众人所遗忘。
如果一朝一日只有一个RedHat发行版，而且RedHat可以有多元化的产品可以盈利，成为一个巨头，我想这未必不是一件好事。

who know? where is the future?

我觉得厂商发行版的升级只不过是替用户做了而已。厂商不出新的发行版你就只有自己升级了。而且依赖关系又非常的麻烦，俺是不懂，呵呵。
windows和linux不一样。我们在windows下用的软件有几个是windows自带的，而linux呢？频繁升级发行版还是软件的升级大。
呵呵，意思好像没表达清楚。将就着看吧，呵呵

nod, so one day when software on linux are so easy to install/uninstall, then everybody can upgrade by himself, then no distribution upgrade anymore.

本人刚刚摘掉了非常菜的帽子，进入了很菜的阶段，系统有了高版本用起来反而不适应了

I think maybe you could poste a thread to explain how to remove old packages and upgrade to new package in detail. Might help lots people. I know some threads have already discussed this, but the answer is given to the problem, so they were not that consecutional arranged.

, i think llc can do this. i do not have much experience on installing software.
