uh, what wrong with a "zypper dup" once in a while? Or are you visiting Aunt Nellie only once every five years? '-)
You Nailed it. Gave her opensuse so I wouldn't have to run over there and de-virus her machine every week. As for zypper dup, point Aunt Nellie here: http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage and watch her never speak to you again. Wait... Hmmmmmm... My Kubuntu popped up a window asking If I wanted to upgrade to 9.10. Since I use it as a test platform, I had nothing to lose, and clicked yes. Worked perfectly. (And I mean PERFECTLY!). Not once in all the years of using any flavor of suse since 7.3 has that ever worked as sweet as it did in Kubuntu. And why does everyone sing the praises of Yast and in the same breath talk about a command line package manager?
If the community really likes a openSuSE-LTS thing, the community should provide it. I just can not imagine what Novell would be gaining by it,
But this is OPENSUSE, right? Not SLED/SLES. We are talking about this on the OpenSuse mailing list? http://en.opensuse.org/Project_Overview says the first GOAL is: Make openSUSE the EASIEST Linux distribution for ANYONE to obtain and the most WIDELY USED open source platform. So right there, FAIL! The truth of the matter is we are all Lab Rats for Novell, and there is very little about openSuse that is OPEN at all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
