gargan's Journal: suse thus far

Thus far Suse has been ok to me. Today I used YOU to update and it put in 2.6 in place of the old 2.4, and things are looking good. I do notice a significant increase in speed, as it was a bit sluggish before.

I type this from konqueror, because firefox ALWAYS fucks up on slashdot pages in linux, but never anymore on my xp machine at work. Konq renders it just fine. Even got a spell checker. Btw, anyone know how to block ads in konq like with firefox?

There is one annoyance. I can't seem to get it to accept the suse mirror at gatech as an installation source. All I want is something like apt, with suse. I don't want to bullshit downloading everything manually and checking dependencies and shit. Just show me what you got let me click it and install it, from YaST, which you're so fucking proud of. Don't get me wrong, it does a good job, but when it doesn't, there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.
