John, I know that's the official statement as far as the FTP release
goes.....but I swear 9.2 didn't hit the mirrors (or even ftp.suse.com)
until like 6 months later. I was impatiently checking... :^)

I'll probably buy the 9.3 upgrade anyway (only ftp'd 9.2 cause we had
just purchased 9.1), but do you know if they've gotten anywhere with
acpi, sleep/suspend/resume type stuff?? Right now my brand new Dell
Inspiron notebook stays on when I close the lid.....argh.... Fan speed
step, battery and temp acpi all work great though.
Thanks!
