Ack^3. Pitching opensuse against ubuntu is currently difficult. 10.1 is a dead loss, 10.2 is only good after installing a bunch of updates and obliterating zmd (risky business, might uninstall 2/3 of KDE and basic system libraries, so why not format in the first place?).
Well, it's not that terrible. You can choose not to install ZENWorks tools at installation time by putting a "Taboo" sign on the proper checkbox. The problem is that you've to know that. However we should not worry anymore about ZENWorks for 10.3.
Repositories are too difficult to add to suse. Mostly because finding them in the first place takes too long for a non-techie, partly because it's too slow. And too damn buggy - repos which were configured before just pop off the list (but are still being refreshed, creating a "what the hell is this *&@#$&@( box downloading for the next 15 minutes?). A non-techie wouldn't know any of this.
The biggest problem is to find them and to understand what repository contains what you need. Webbin is of great help in this however. The speed of zypp and friends should improve in 10.3, so we'll see.
What would be nice is a tabular list of repos, their short info, and their state with tick boxes, not this drop-down box in the corner.
Yes this would be a lot better, but it seems it's not so easy to do according to Pascal. Another possible solution would be to make it possible to click on the webpin link and install the package you need. But it doesn't sound that easy to me too, because of the dependencies issues.
