Joe's Linux Blogs!

Yast2 is most likely one of the most well thought out package systems I've ever worked with. I have the ability to shop and compare so to speak. I can load up all of the community repositories and look at what each one has to offer. You do have to be careful not to break your install. I tend to stick to the most current releases of software, however, you need to keep track of the different versions each repository offers. If you're careful, you can update the system to a much more current state and not update the OS itself. Also remember there is a really great text version of Yast and that can really come in handy. OK, What did I just say? Oh ya, Happy Linuxing!
