Yast and You worked perfectly for many releases. I can't imagine what possessed Novel to foist this zen crap on us.
It it wasn't broke, why fix it?
They need a reason for Mono to exist....
MOD THAT UP!
Because Zen is the worst piece of cr*p I have _ever_ seen come from SuSE...
Unless my memory is defective, I believe Novell got into bed with mono prior to purchasing SuSE. My feeling is that this change was dictated to the guys in the SuSE division after the buyout. We all have to grin and bear it sometimes at work sometimes, and I think privately a number of the old guard are wincing at the damage that Zen has done to the SuSE reputation. Generally SuSE is an excellent (if not the best) distro. It's just tragic that it was saddled with Zen so late in the day, when it was so obviously not ready. Hopefully this is not an omen of Novell's attitude to openSUSE nee SuSE Linux. How 10.2, 10.3 and 11.0 (numbers based on historical evidence) are planned, built, _tested_ and delivered will be crucial to the future of what is now called openSUSE. If there are more instances of the Zen farce ilk, I can see openSUSE dying as people move in favour of a more robust platform. -- Steve Boddy -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
