I agree, Im thinking there is something wrong again with the updating system. Even if there isnt, its just too slow!!!! Yast is like a dinosaur, and takes 5 minutes to start up, the zen updater hangs for days if you will let it. Smart is the only package manager that works quick and flawlessly, as far as I can see. Thank you pascal, the pre configured repositories is a nice touch as well!!
Yast, in my experience, is only slow if you've added lots of repositories and told Yast to update them every time it starts up. I just turn off update for repositories I'm not using and Yast speeds up a lot in startup time. I certainly agree about zen...it's very slow. I suspect it's because there are fewer zen repositories and consequently they're getting hit harder and have less bandwidth available, but this is pure speculation on my part. I certainly did'nt ask for zen, don't want it now, but am stuck with it.
