- an integrated product
In which ways do you lack integration?
well basically it boils down to that im a kde user, and slowly i got more and more gtk based apps running by default. i dont mind gtk, for gimp or inkscape, or whatever. but i do mind beagles and updaters and ZEN-stuff that comes in, falling from the sky, hurting my system performance, not integrated with my desktop. i dont need mono running. i dont need 2 toolkits loaded. i just want an integrated desktop 'experience'.
Currently, KDE uses opensuse-updater, instead of zen-updater, and Beagle is both provided via Suse's custom KDE menu and Kerry. About Beagle's daemon using Mono, that probably doesn't impact performance much, since it is a low priority process and is disk bound. I'm sure those folks have considered it when designing it. You can disable it anyway.
i dont know what caused it (i just moved on from suse that week), but installing a simple packages from yast took like 15 minutes (okay i like to have a lot of package repositories). 15 minutes to install a 15k package! i can do it faster by compiling it from source.
Yeah, that's a serious problem. Its not mostly Yast faults as it is just a frontend. The startup can't be improved, but the post-scripts could be run at background. Maybe something nice as well would be that when the user hits the button to apply its changes, it would just show a progress bar installing/removing the packages, instead of going all the way to a new screen. And allow the user to keep looking at and selecting packages. I can't be the only one that has forgotten to install something, only to have to wait the all time to be able to go install another package. That ending dialog "Install more packages? [yes] [no]" has also triggered me to press "no". (I'm used to an application that says "Really quit? [yes] [no]" heh). I can't see the use of such dialog anyway; you can just click the close button of Yast (or hit the cancel button, or through the menu, or alt+f4/ctrl+q or whatever).
