amen? It's a few clicks away and you have the old setup back again.

I seriusly am wondering how much time y'all have spemt with openSUSE. You *can* switch off the stuff you don't like; there *are* several options available to manage the packages. You don't *need* to use YaST; you even can switch off parts of it,, if you really are so disgusted.

I don't get it. People get HP-UX, bitch about the way it's administered. You give sam, all is a bit better for them. Next, people write a 'supertool' and now, all help is not needed.... sigh.


There may be areas where it's still rough, can be changed but none of them can't be overcome.

I in fact see more problems with the ideas behind other
sets based on ideals that is OK to have but shouldn't be forced upon people who want to *use* a system.

Again, you can tune most of the complaints away, easily.

'It's a few clicks away and you have the old setup back again.'

To be honest, I really didn't care all that much since my wireless didnt work (this was before I found out it didnt work in Fedora or Ubuntu either) and I never investigated if the menu could be changed back. My bad.

fair enough.

What I generally do is shell out a few bucks (euro's in my case) to get something that works, like a new pcmcia card. Or better -- get supported hardware but I also realise that this not always is a possibility.

I for instance have a sd card reader that is defunct under linux in my laptop -- I got a multicard reader (approx $7) and all is fine... ;-)
