by the time i was using 9.3, i didnt like the following: - yast overwrites config files i have edited by hand without creating a backup - no good network connection manager. changing networks meant one has to manually edit network configs, or use the very unreliable "kinternet", which does not even have an option to save custom profiles - dhcp client implementation was crappy. one could get 'partial' network settings from a dhcp server (eg, an IP address, but no gateway, or dns servers). Although there is an option of getting way round this in the relevant config file, yast could easily ovewrite that file again (see bullet 1 above) :( - it was too heavy and slow on my laptoy. the same laptop with fc5 boots in less than half the time it took suse, lasts longer on the same battery, apps start much faster, etc anyway, plus lots of other many nuances..! (like a "KDE" which is a bit hard to upgrade, else, some intergrated apps like 'noatun, or amarok will start misbehaving). e _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
