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.
If it's not default it won't apply to the vast majority of the users. Only those specifically told to remove it will do so. You expect $averageuser to a) know what ZMD is, b) understand the openSUSE package management architecture and c) comprehend the problems therein and make the decision to remove it?
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).
Good.
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
I expect the reason he said this was to try and have someone like you prove it wrong :p There has a been a lack of SUSE presence on the lists in the past weeks with holidays and SLE. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
