I've used SuSE since about version 8 I believe. I like YaST (both GUI and CL version which is damn close to the GUI-nice work SuSE devs!). I've never had a problem with the repositories for doing online updates. I've added packman's repositories to get things like commercial DVD viewing working and to be able to rip MP3's in K3B (default SuSE install doesn't install LAME) again without any problems. Not sure what you would be having problems with. I typically go with the default online repository. I think I've switched it maybe once or twice between versions. -- Jarrod Major Registered Linux User: #224211 GPG Fingerprint: 4556 EFA8 EC69 7C54 EE33 C881 2C7C 0E10 2439 231E
