In That case then suse should have been released using the tried and trusted Yast not this hotch potch collection of odes and ends called ZEN or whatever it is is
Hmm seems to me this is a product packaging issue rather then purely technical issue. Im not quite clear as to why feature was incorporate into 10.1 as I am no longer clear on the product lineup and target audiences. We have opensuse which is all gpl stuff and the development platform We have 10.1 which is all gpl stuff and target at whom, the home user, for a fee and boxed set? We have SuSE Linux Desktop clearly targetted at the corporate client and We have SuSE Linux Enterprize server for the same crowd. Asside from the ambiguity of customers for opensuse and 10.1 box set would it not make sense to have released the ZEN Yast Experiment in an opensuse variant as there are currently a couple of those and left the other version alone until such time as the application set was trialed and tested. As its stands 10.1 is very rough in terms of package management. Hay my main bitch with a smile is that since 5.2 I could point yast to any directory on my machine, remote or local and include the directory as a yast source, however more typically used on my own machine. Now I have to create a yast repository, and go to all that work, just to include an existing directory on my laptop say for example the latest KDE just to ensure that all dependencies are addressed. Used to be as simple as point an click (and since 5.2) Now its a half hour exercise. Should I be wrong on the above I would just love for someone to correct me. Other then that, SuSE still gets my vote Regards -- /ch
