Ack^3. Pitching opensuse against ubuntu is currently difficult. 10.1 is a dead loss, 10.2 is only good after installing a bunch of updates and obliterating zmd (risky business, might uninstall 2/3 of KDE and basic system libraries, so why not format in the first place?).
Just to make sure: You can (a) install openSUSE 10.2 without the ZENworks stack or (b) uninstall the ZENworks stack at any point after installation. We have successfully tested both scenarios, and I can certify that taking either of these steps won't lead to loss of hair, vision, nor any parts of the KDE stack ;-)
Repo management still sucks when compared with something debian-based. Sorry, but currently it's alpha 3 so a good time to say it ;)
Indeed, repo management is one of those areas where we certainly want to see what we can do to improve usability. I'll ask our teams to make some public proposals based on ideas that have been floating around internally and on this list (among others). On Sun, 6 May 2007, Pascal Bleser wrote:
But the community side of things has its own share of issues we shall (try to) work on.
For example: send more bug reports. Really. Looking at some of those issues that I personally reported in the last couple of months, I would have hoped for more of them to have been reported by others already. I want openSUSE/SLE to be the most polished distro on the planet. Everyone's help on that front, be it design, be it reports, be it concrete fixes, is most welcome!
Frankly, I doubt any of the SUSE people will see this thread and jump on to make some comments.. one cannot monitor that many lists (or interesting posts in a load of off-topic crap).
Now, while I noticed a tendency of mine to agree with what you write, on this one I clearly have to disagree, Pascal. :-P Gerald -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer E gp@novell.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH Director Inbound Product Mgmt T +49(911)74053-0 HRB 16746 (AG Nuremberg) openSUSE/SUSE Linux Enterprise F +49(911)74053-483 GF: Markus Rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
