However, we are not sure that there will be a Junior edition of 2.3. The upcoming ALT Linux 2.3 Compact will be different from Junior as it will be a bit more streamlined and will have less software choices (which is better for OEM). But when ALT Linux 3.0 Junior is out, you will probably be able to upgrade easily :) -- -----------------*- Egor Grebnev ALT Linux Team http://www.altlinux.com
