Like i've said in other threads, the one thing that (k)(X)Ubuntu does right is make updates drop dead simple with either Synaptic or the kde front end equivelent. It just works, and it doesn't take all day. Its as fast as your bandwidth, and seemingly never errors out.
Agreed. The only real complaint I have about SUSE is it's updates and repos. It's a total nightmare for new users (regardless of what toolset they use), and an annoyance for us old timers. I can get it working without much trouble, but I have to "get it working". I've been referring the new users to KonvenientSUSE to help them get things up and running (ie making their Linux install actually usable by adding in MP3 support, multimedia support etc)... but still even that is prone to breakage (and new user error). I'm keeping a close eye on the Linspire/Ubuntu thing with CNR. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
