Based on some of the posts here and my experiences with Yast2 I'm looking at 
smart as an alternative.  I run OpenSuse 10.1. I installed smart and the 
smart-gui using Yast2 (does it know it's training it's own replacement <G>).  
I'm looking at some of the docs on the susewiki and the smart site but have 
some questions.

1.  Channels - supposedly there are some installed with smart but 
my /etc/smart directory has no files in and the complete source site given in 
the docs  is unreachable - no such server.  I can add these manually but 
isn't a file with default channels supposed to exist?  I did find 
a /var/lib/channels directory - is this used instead.

2.  The susewiki talks about additional channels like suse-kde.  Where do I 
find them?

I'm hoping smart will live up to it's name and finally there will be a package 
manager that works <G>.

Thanks.
