Stupid question: Is SuSE 10.1 out yet? Or are you referring to a test version?

... können Sie auch eine Kopie von SUSE Linux mit gedruckten Handbüchern und freier Installationsunterstützung im Fachhandel, im Internet oder direkt bei Novell kaufen.
Hope you can read this, it says 10.1 is the latest stable Version and availlable for Download. I installed it via FTP.
Thank you so much. In the past, up to SuSE 10.0, I used to receive e-mail directly from SuSE when a new version became available. This did not happen this time. Neither is 10.1 listed on Novell's site, at least not at http://www.novell.com/linux/ (which is the default page of my browser), despite what the German text claims. Neither is 10.1 listed on amazon.com. Cheapbytes lists it, though. :-) Be it as it may, I have the following question: I've gotten used to apt-get; see http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/. As I understand it, apt-get is going away starting with SuSE 10.1 (that URL only mentions 'repomd', but does not say much about it, other than YAST will support it). Is there the equivalent to apt-get repositories I can declare in YAST? If yes, which are they? If such repositories can be declared in YAST, I would think that synaptic, the graphical overlay to apt-get, would be useless; am I correct? If apt-get is truly going away with SuSE 10.1, is the same variety of software going to be available for SuSE 10.1 as with previous versions (e.g. rpms for 'MP[a-z]\{5\}' --my apologies for using Eregex)? I long for the good old days, when I could just slide the SuSE DVD into the bay and everything was there but the kitchen sink! TIA -- Running 64-bit Linux on AMD64
