Well, mostly because it just works:) I must say, I was very sceptical
of a 3rd party tool that is currently standing at version 0.42, which
lead to me being pleasantly suprised. I started smart, it suggested
some channels, which just so happens to be all the ones I wanted. I
clicked refresh all channels, and it gave me a list of updates
available. I said install all, and was impressed to see that it can
download from all sites in parallel. There is definately some minor
glitches still, but all in all, I think it was worth the time invested
in it.
Some glitches:
- The tray icon always asks for the root password when you log in.
- The tray icon does not give a clear indication of status. You have
to hover the mouse over it to get a tool tip of the status.
- Right click on the tray icon , and selecting "Start Smart .." does nothing.
- Only a subset of functions are implemented in the gui. This got me
at first. Once you're running, the gui is all you need.
