I know 10.3 has a bad reputation where package manglement is concerned, but in all fairness, if you stick to the default repositories, and a few big ones, like Packman, I don't think the package management is that bad. I've only had very few issues with it since it's release, much much better than earlier 10.x releases!
However, my experience with package management on 11 has been a little piece of heaven so far. It's fast, it doesn't churn my CPU for minutes before it decides it can't install something due to conflicting dependencies...I love it! :-)
The entire 10.x series had package management issues - primarily with speed. Now with 11.0, it works, and it works VERY well. As soon as i saw how good it was, i moved all my computers to 11.0, and encourage others to do the same. I've worked with and ran various other Linux distros including Ubuntu and its variations, and compared to the 10.x releases, Ubuntu won in package management. OpenSuse 11.0 thouhg... has got it right (for how I think/work anyway).. at least the KDE version of the package manager. The Gnome version of the package manager in 11.0 is a royal pain to use - oddly no one has commented on it on the mailing list.. that I've noticed (a topic for another discussion). (I run both KDE4 and Gnome and use both the QT and GTK versions of YAST). C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
