After having played with SuSE's server version at work a bit I'll just remark that SuSE has its own quirks and insanities. > Does Suse use URPMI? No. Nither SuSE nor RedHat come with urpmi or apt4rpm built-in. You can install apt4rpm for both but if you have some not freely-distributable packages, they won't be in any repository. Unlike up2date and red-carpet (which some versions of SuSE may include) urpmi and apt allow you to easily add your own sources. Be that some remote software locations or packages locations, or even your own custom packages. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
