"Berge, Harry ten"
I want to know what the 'better' tool is when upgrading SuSE (8.1 Pro). I know from my Debian days that APT is a *great* tool, but is it officially supported by SuSE?
No, it isn't.
I find YOU somewhat unfriendly, with no progress indication, and in the case of a failure while downloading, you have to start all over...
YOU in SuSE 8.1 needs polishing - its usage is not quite intuitive, progress indicator is missing, ... I expect improvements in 8.2. I prefer to use tools supported by SuSE and if they are not good enough then to push SuSE to improve them. Home user preferences may differ, I use Linux at work. Nevertheless I have to admit I must use fou4s (http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/) instead of YOU on a Pentium 150 MHz PC with SuSE 7.3. YOU is so slow there that the download of updates is always interrupted before it finishes. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
