How does deb handle this? do they just have fewer repos? A friend of mine is running Kubuntu and I must say installing from repos are much faster (the whole experience); updating the available packages takes seconds (not the downloading, just getting the available updates).
Yes, Synaptic is way faster than zypper and YaST. I left SuSE for a while to try out Ubuntu and this is the one thing I like about it.
Try openSUSE 11.0, the solver and repository handling was rewritten exacly because of the bad performance.
Cheers, Michael.
what will happen if I install the zypper present in 11 (eventually recompiled from scratch) on a 10.3 installation? Should I expect breakage of some sort? Unfortunately the zypper in 10.3 is really exasperating :( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
