Yeah, compare rotten SUSE Linux 10.1 with Kubuntu. If I look at 10.2 Alpha 4 I think they fixed the most things you complain about. Rug is lightning fast, KDE SUSE updaters is a blast (Gnome one does not work for some reason) and there are a lot more fixes.
There's no way in hell i'm going to upgrade a working machine with an "alpha" release. One of the alphas (or betas?) for 10.1 had an installation bug which deleted the partition table.
10.1 is a bad version. Comparing it with whatever does not say anything about SUSE in general only about one rotten version. And as wel all know, that will never happen again.
Read the post again - i wasn't comparing Kubuntu with Suse 10.1, but was comparing Kubuntu against 8 years of experience with Suse. For example, the yast install/upgrade tools have *always* been dog slow compared to apt-based systems, it's just that the problem is exemplified in 10.1 (i would almost say it was blown to comic-tragic proportions in 10.1).
BTW. if you have problems with Yast/rpm then you can install Smart and use apt's. Or whatever you want cause it supports a lot.
Out of principal, i'm not going to fight with 10.1's update process any more. i've already hosed my RPM db a couple times trying to get other tools running. This machine is my DSL router and i work online from home, so i can't afford to risk hosing it any further. No user should have to install an add-on/3rd-party upgrade tool. It should be [a working] part of the system (as it has been for a number of years).
I came to SUSE some years ago and I only know the mailinglist for a year. Never used it, internetsupport maybe a few times cause I am seeking adventure (so now I run Alpha 4). I can't find myself in you're discription and conclusions.
Maybe you've got more patience with 10.1 than i. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts
