[opensuse-factory] YOU vs Zen Updater
Maybe a little OT, but I think neccessary and useful to know for 10.2 as well. I just Configured Online Update with YaST and thereafter ran a larger YaST Online Update for 10.1. For some time the Zen Software Updater has showed 11 software updates (incl. Mozilla Firefox and Evolution). The difference now was that it was possible to install them with Zen after this latest libzypp update. Now I wonder what is the real use difference between YOU and Zen Updater? (If I remember right there was something called SuSE Watcher equivalent to Zen now). Is Zen meant to replace YOU? Or which types of packages become updated/patched with Zen Updater vs YOU and Zen Remove Program vs Yast Add/Remove Programs? cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) VERSION = 10.1 How to find out if I've got upgraded to the 10.1 Mastered or not?

The short version is that they're two different frontends to do the same thing. No need to get into the backend stuff.

Nope, more supplement/offer an alternative for people who are confused and scared by YOU.
How to find out if I've got upgraded to the 10.1 Mastered or not?
10.1 remastered is 10.1 + updates up until October 9th, as AJ's announce clearly stated. If you've installed the updates provided by the official update repo you'll have '10.1 remastered' + a few updates provided since October 9th. Don't worry, you're not missing anything.
