I'm always as close to current as I want to be. OR, if you're not comfortable with the terminal: Click yast Click Manage Software Search evolution Click Evolution check box Click Finish Yast is considered by many, if not most, to be one of the best reasons to choose openSUSE over another distribution. > > All I know about other distros is that Ubuntu people are constantly > constantly griping about how that linux-for-humans distributions is > borking them up [and at the same time saying it is awesome...]. Hear, hear! I installed and tried Ububtu and found it unstable. Not awesome at all. Then again, it was free for the downloading. I tried it, didn't care for it, and so removed it. At no time did I join their forum to complain and demand that it be changed to suit my liking. > I've nominated a motto for openSUSE of "LINUX for people who need > to get work done", but I that probably is two much of a snub. :) It is however, exactly why I use, and have used it now for quite a long time (since 8.1). And, I've never compiled anything. The one or two times I tried with some esoteric package, and failed, someone on the openSUSE forum jumped right in, compiled it for me and provided the binary within hours of asking. In all these years, I've never felt the need to complain to the people who (mostly without financial compensation) provide functional, secure, stable software for me to use at the cost of a simple download. It would never occur to me to threaten them with the removal of their software and the use of a "competitor's" product, as I'm sure most developers of FOSS view this with the same feeling of humor as I. I'll sure be pleased when this thread expires!
