I know I can install this with the traditional rpm command, and I know it will work, but I always get some nasty comments about doing so. YAST doesn't seem to see it. PLEASE don't tell me that Libre Office is just as good; it's not. --doug
The advantage with YaST/zypper for something like this (installing a known package) is that they will pull in any additional RPMs that are needed. The rpm command does not do that. It will just complain and leave you to finding the missing bits. If there are no mnissing bits, there is no difference. I use all three programs, depending on what I'm up to. In the end, they are maintaining the same database that describes what is installed. -- Roger Oberholtzer
