Does anyone know whether upgrading from older SUSE versions (9.1) will be problem-free, given that they have ripped out the old software package management and replaced it internally with Red Carpet (?? is this so ??)
SUSE Linux 10.1 RC1 released

Regarding the update issue, the best thing would be wait a few days after
10.1 final, and look at the release notes/ read the mailinglist.. But in
my experiences, updates works bests if you update from the previous
version, e.g. 10.0. This should be also the best tested case. An upgrade
(server system) from 9.1 to 10.0 worked also fine for me, but YMMW.
And to the package management problems:
Quote
from Opensuse announce
"We're replacing our package manager resolver library with a new version
called "libzypp".
libzypp is the integration of SUSE's yast2 Package manager and
Ximian's libredcarpet. At Novell we used two solutions so far - Red
Carpet and YaST package manager - and decided to merge both in a best
of breed approach."
