OK I installed RC 1 but I’ve been installing updates all along where am I at version wise?
uname -a doesn’t tell me anything except about the kernel obviously.

Where do I find info about the oepnSUSE distro version I am at?

cat /etc/SuSE-release
That should give you the version running.

It says 12.3. It does not say whether this is RC1 , RC2 or GM.
After updating RC1 regularly, I did a dist-upgrade via zypper dup, and SuSE-release now just says 12.3 (nothing about RCx). Maybe it’s different for a clean install of RC2.

Hmmm, well, it won’t be GM since that’s not available yet. 
I could’ve sworn that my RC1 install said it was RC1, though.

Pulling the ISO now, so I guess we’ll see.

If it does not say RC1, then it is RC2. With only one week between RC2 and GM,
as many things as possible are changed to the final version. That way, the load
on the build system is reduces and it is available for the important stuff.
I have now done ‘zypper dup’ on 3 systems. After a ‘zypper up’ today, the dup
usually included about 50 more packages.
Good luck. I can’t say what it contained for RC1 as I didn’t check SuSE-release, and it was by network install CD.
I thought that might be the case with 13 days to go and less for GM, it makes sense…
I did the dup yesterday and noticed about that number in total package changes. Checked a few minutes ago, and “Nothing to be done”, so it’s RC2 here.
Interesting. I did a zypper up and got two packages.
I did a zypper dup and downggraded 41 packages including the kernel?
I know I must have done something wrong.
No telling where I am at now. LOL :P.
Kernel is different here

You should be ok and on RC2. After posting the “Nothing to be done” (from doing a dup), I had two more updates - IIRC one was Flash. Tested ok. I remember there were more downgrades than expected with numbers similar to yours and the kernel change. 
Ah good then.
Does zypper honor the setting in YAST2’s repo setting as I disabled the Packman factory repo, Google Chrome and Google talk repos before I did any zypper updating. Those repos could complicate things if they were not ignored. I think it does but LOL lack of sleep.

Yes it does. Did you remember to zypper ref before zypper up?
Oh noes \0/. Forgot that. I guess I need to do that and try it again.
I just checked it and all is well.
The repos had just refreshed when I logged out and did the zypper up and dup as root from a console.
