Not to forget: sudo apt-get autoclean and yes, you'll need to get to grips with the various repos to install packages outside the vanilla version of any distro. I've installed Kubuntu on a laptop and a load of extra packages for web development. Have not heard any complaints for at least a year now. ;-) A point to note: Last time I used OpenSuse (must be 4 years ago or more) it did not seem to be as flexible as ?Ubuntu. There were all sort of dependency problems if you veered off the beaten track. Also back then there was no way to upgrade to the later version. It was a matter of reinstalling and reconfiguring. Things may have moved on since. -- Regards, Mick
