Subject: Re: [SLUG] KDE gui package manger in Debian
Hi,
I'm using Fedora 15 with KDE4 and for installing new software I'm
using KPackageKit. Is KPackageKit not available in Debian?
http://www.packagekit.org/pk-download.html
Thanks for the suggestion, I looked into Kpackagekit and looks like the
ticket, though I wasn't sure if there was an update notifier integrated with it.
I have had a couple of annoyances with Wheezy though, and am a little concerned
it may break with the rolling release set up so started looking around on the
distro front.
We are trialing Mandriva atm, it has an easy to use gui package manager which
my son has already started using.
It seems conservative enough to be stable, but updates often enough to keep us
happy. They are working on an even better gui package manager for the next
release so look forward to that.
If we don't encounter any show stoppers my son will stick with KDE on Mandriva,
fingers crossed.
Thanks for everyones input.
Tuxta
