Fun Stuff > CLIKC
The PT410X thread: Linux/BSD and Open Source Software for users and beginners!

There's a very good reason that I only use YaST for stuff I'm too lazy to do "properly". That said, I don't touch it for package management. I have always used zypper instead. Same goes for a lot of other things really. YaST is essentially just a front-end for stuff anyhow, and there are some Novell goodies thrown in that I like. Of course, I'm also a KDE junkie who loves emacs, so YMMV.

I love mint like I used to love Ubuntu and for the same reasons.
I'm have no tech cred at all. I stick with it for the fact that it just works 99% of the time and almost all the programs and applications I'd want are in one place, just a click away.
hedgie:
You aren't the only one. Mint works great, and does more (IMHO) than any other *nix distro out of the box for users. I actually know an older guy who switched (mostly, still keeps a Windows partition around) to Mint after getting computer VD for the last time, and does everything on Linux that isn't Windows exclusive.
hedgie:
Interesting. It looks like my pet distro will soon have an option for a rolling repo for all the KDE stuff:

I wonder if they're testing the waters for moving to a full rolling-release distro, or expanding the option to other repos.

spent a while with a FreeBSD VM this evening. I quite enjoyed it. I'm not advanced enough to say anything about the Kernel in comparison with Linux, but I like the userland. I might try to do more with FreeBSD, and when I'm comfortable enough with it, switch all my servers over to it.
