You have a strange perspective...

- there is a separate list for fedora-testing. Any and all discussion of
testing platforms are actually off-topic here

- the specific policies regarding upgrades from testing to release are
as Alexander stated - unsupported

- no doubt stealing another thread would be considered bad form on a
SuSE list too

- Alexander is without question THE most generous and patient person on
this list (note - not a bit of equivocation) - now that you have made
certain that he will not reply to your questions, you should consider
your reactions before you alienate others too. I think that he assumed
that since you seemed to care little for protocol (stealing a thread,
posting off topic questions), that you were ill equipped to be setting
up a server on a test platform.

- as for your assertion that Alexander's answer was 'the most un-useful'
reply, it actually fully and completely answered your question. If that
is insufficient, you should probably stay with SuSE.
