I have been telling Donn exactly that for ages. Many millions from IBM down to our 82 year old Stanley are happily running openSUSE without any of the horrors he sees, yet he thinks the distro put out by idiots is as buggy as hell, is missing stuff that's already there and he can't be convinced otherwise, hard as you may try. So, if you did a package by package comparison between his box and my currently running 3 boxes or yours you'll find lots of core packages that are not from openSUSE but are built from sources he downloaded from the internet and created himself with checkinstall. He insists on mixing 11.4 and 11.4 updates repos with factory - unclean and headed for disaster. To put it bluntly, he doesn't trust the distro one bit and does his own re-engineering of it. The problems are his own. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
