Accordingly I just downloaded the openSUSE-11.3-DVD-x86_64.iso and will install it as soon as I have a few hours of free time (yeah I've heard the install itself is faster than that but I'll need to change or disable almost every default keyboard shortcut on each of several desktop environments, find out how to eliminate almost all autoload/autorun functions.
you can do this with "systemsettings" easily.
then I'll need to find out if it will honor my udev rule assigning ownership of my personal data partitions to my "user" login.
don't know about this...
And most likely, I'll have to convert the fstab from using UUID=$SICKstring references to LABEL=$humanREADABLEstrings references. etc... (Here's hoping the installer doesn't insist on reformatting my specifically labeled swap partitions etc...)
configurable on the install
Anyway I think I remember that the cli package management tool is called zipper?
yes
I can't remember a thing about what repos exist (nor how to add them) besides whatever the default ones are that the installer will automatically setup for me. Is there a list of what repositories are available along with what their for???
search for packages on http://software.opensuse.org/search and add repos that interest you.
Also, I'll be wanting to disable any display manager in favor of a console (runlevel 3?} boot and startx when/if I'm ready for the gui to start.
