I don't know, perhaps because it's still wasteful, and I have better things to do with my RAM than having 45 versions of glibc loaded?
In any case, if that is the issue, then the correct rant is "don't bother with the dynamically linked build", not "don't bother with the opensuse branded stuff".
Anders, there are users who simply want things to work and not spend their 'valuable' time trying to fix problems. I turned into one of those. I got tired of having to figure out how to get things to work using Yast. So my info is not FUD but practicality. If anyone wants to figure out why a particular app wont work, let 'em. If they want to have something work without all that heartache, let 'em have the alternative. If you insist on opensuse only for the purists then you're going to have very small audience. The rest will go elsewhere. I started using SuSE back on ver 6 and went thru that learning curve. Now I just want things to work so I can enjoy other things. Of all the distros I still think suse is the best one even with all its zits. It's getting around the zits that's tough, especially when others keep on putting in more zits. BTW, I started using Calibre with 10.1 and have used it up thru 11.4. Using Goyal's recommended install has never failed to give me a working Calibre regardless of what Yast installed. It even worked on Ubuntu. That's not FUD that's reality. Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
