Hi, all --
What's the preferred/right/best/easiest way to install & update software on my Leap system? I grew up on YaST (and then YaST2), but I keep seeing folks using zypper, and there are even occasional comments about apt. My goal is simply to be able to find the most software the most easily and reliably, since it's already challenging enough to know which RPM repositories and archives to search...
TIA & HAND
:-D
The best advice is a "use what suits you best" advice. YaST's software manager is nothing more than a front-end to zypper. If you're a dedicated cli user, zypper is ideal for you, if you come from the debian world apt might be handy. In the end it's a matter of taste, of feeling comfortable with.
Er... being strict, YaST is not a frontend to zypper. Instead, it uses libzypp; it does not call the zypper command line.

*uses the zypp technology* to correct myself. And back on-topic, I like the thread so far. :D -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Forums Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
