I don't run a server but have TW installed on a laptop... Which should I run, 'zypper dup' or 'zypper up'?
Depends on your goal. If you want to keep what you have and only get whatever security updates already are or might become available in the very near future, do up. If you want to keep running TW, do dup. If you don't want what will before long become a mongrel, only ever do dup on TW, as the currently installed packages will in the not very distant future no longer be available on any repos. TW only keeps "current" packages on the mirrors; the versions more or less continuously roll forward. Have you ever used a distro that uses Yum as package manager? If yes, think of up as yum update, and dup as yum upgrade, the latter equivalent to distro-sync. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
