Well I am a newby, I had no idea what the heck was going on. I think I have really screwed my system because of lack of communication and my ignorance. If the system depends on a server that is so vulnerable maybe I need another system.
I doubt the system is screwed. have a bit of patience. I've been using suse for the best part of 10 years. This is the first time I've not been able to do updates. The mail list did go out once before that I remember due to a hardware failure. I think it was a raid controller. I did check the site and saw the information that they'd had a power failure in the area and that their cable had to be replaced. As most of the electrical is underground in Germany, it takes a while to repair. Mike

If Novell wants to get serious with their whole openSUSE push, they better damn have a much more reliable repository.
I've had 3 people today ask me "why can't I get my updates that are flashing in the corner, it just times out"
All because repos.opensuse.org is down.
Wow.. Never had a power outage at your place? Amazing..
