[opensuse] SLED10_SP1 vs 10.3
Hi Are there any xtra repos (for YAST) for SLED10 SP1. There are a few programs that I miss? Is there a SP2 in the pipeline and if so will it include KDE4? Does the boxed version of SLED10 SP1 include more packages than the downloadable one? Is it possible to "Upgrade" SLED evaluation to 10.3? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Go to software.opensuse.org/search and have a look if you can find them there.

Not sure when SP2 is due but pretty confident that you wont see KDE4 in there. A SP will normally be bug/security fixes only (no version upgrades).
Does the boxed version of SLED10 SP1 include more packages than the downloadable one?
No, the ISO and the boxed DVD are the same.
Is it possible to "Upgrade" SLED evaluation to 10.3?

No. I'm not even sure that's an upgrade, they are kind of diferent distros. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Hi,

Did you check the SDK stuff?
Is there a SP2 in the pipeline and if so will it include KDE4?
I don't think so: SP1 has "just" been released
Does the boxed version of SLED10 SP1 include more packages than the downloadable one?
I don't think so: by downloading the dvd iso you get what you have in the box (apart maybe from a printed manual)

These are different "products". You should choose between the "entreprise" version and the "opensuse" version. You have to decide what is important for you: if you want a lot of "updated" software, go with the opensuse distribution. SLED10 Service Packs will give you some updated softwares (firefow went from 1.5 to 2.x, new kernel, ...) but nothing similar to opensuse, as Novell could not provide support to all the software around. Kind regards, Gaël

I do not think there are any extra repos ... however, SLED 10 is essentially similar to OpenSuse 10.1 ... so I have successfully used this repo to add programs that were otherwise unavailable. I like SLED (by that I mean some of the nice additions ... VPN in network manager, the Helix Banshee offering especially after SP1, the fact that it comes with the GroupWise client, etc ... ) but the slimmer package repo and the much much smaller community means that there are specific to sled issues that are sometimes difficult to resolve. Plus the much slower dev/update cycle can be frustrating. Peter -- Everything is vague to a degree you do not realize till you have tried to make it precise.
