To add to that the 10.1 beta does not include apt neither as far as I can see are apt sources for 10.1 available from http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/

As I understand the position the last version of SUSE to include apt is 10.0 and 10.1 is moving to Smart, which is included in the latest beta. I know this because I've installed it.

That is really sad. I tried Smart and it is nowhere as user friendly as APT.

I couldn't tell if a version listed was installed or was an upgrade. APT with synaptic is so easy.

That is the one thing that needs to be changed. Add an additional column showing the installed version along side the available version, whether the available version is older or newer. That can't be that hard to program into smart or provide as a user defined option. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
