Since thursday I'm a new Smart lover, And the main reason I like it so much (besides the fact that it actually works perfectly ;-) is that it provides a distribution-independant solution. I think that this is good for general acceptance of Linux on the desktop. No need to re-invent the wheel everytime... What I would like to see that the SUSE specific channels you added to the package (thank you for that!) will be done in a separate package. So the distribution comes with a default package with the Smart tooling, and a separate package with all known additional distribution specific repositories. But first we need a KDE Smart gui :-) Regards Harry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
