okey dokey. For most things I find the SuSE packages are fine, but they don't seem to do major upgrades to packages except when upgrading their own release.
For example they never seem to upgrade GTK+ etc except when for example going from 9.2 to 9.3. They'll patch security holes but not upgrade :(
But if you want to be "near the edge" then there are much better distros avaialable. Having said that, as others have shown you, it's not hard to upgrade things yourself or install apps/libs that SuSE don't provide.
