If you are doing a fresh install (whether keeping /home or not) it makes no difference. Doing an upgrade over more than 1 version is not supported so may not work. I think going 3 versions up in one go would be a risk. Did zypper dup even exist on 11.0? -- Ulick Magee Free software and free formats for free information for free people.

None of those is a good option. OK. Now I get it :) -- Ulick Magee Free software and free formats for free information for free people.

If you want long term, paid-for support you can always get SLES or SLED. -- Ulick Magee Free software and free formats for free information for free people.
