Will think about that later on how to put it in a nice form. First the Howto-Mail_server at this moment.
I am still not happy with the word "repositories" and am thinking of a page: YaST_sources (To be sure, is it Yast, YaST or YAST?) What are your opnions on the word "repositories"? The reason I like "Source" better is because it is used in Yast and will be less confusing for the beginner if only one word is used.
Actually repository is the correct word for YaST "sources". Calling them sources is a bit ambiguous.
If repository is the correct word, then Yast must use repository instead of sources. If you call it sources in Yast and repository on websites, this WILL lead to confusion. Consistency is very importand in how clear something is to people who do not know what is going on. Not everybody has English as a main languange (I am not even saying first) and will understand the word repository. More people will understand source. This is not about semantics, this is about user-friendlyness. Again, I do not care wich one is used, as long as it is the same in both Yast and in other places. As I work for YaST, I want to use the names Yast is using. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
