and Konqueror as the default/only web browser, and itunes installed, which replaces apt as well for package installation. see, they're uniting everyone.
damn FreeBSD trolls
I wonder if that was available when last I tried in ubuntu. I bet I sat there trying to do it from the command line when all I had to do was click it! Sorry for posting bad info.
I wish I'd been following this better. Around Fedora 8 I disabled kpackagekit and haven't re-enabled it. Good to hear it's effective, I swear I'm re-enabling it now and trying it right away! Thanks for testing it.
I haven't tried it in a while as I'm on Fedora right now and otherwise use Arch, but I think deb is as bad as rpm/yum for local files. I occasionally download a rpm and do
$ su -c 'yum localinstall some.rpm'
I would like that built into a gui package manager. If not for me than for people I recommend linux to. How do you locally install a deb file that isn't in a repo?
I do have to say that yum uninstalls rpms better and more consistently than windows does for msi's
That's what I'd expect as a winxp sysadmin. Worst I have to do is delete a profile. But I can't resist since one of my laptops is the same hardware:
T60 Arch Linux rolling upgrade pacman -Syu
T60 Arch Linux rolling upgrade pacman -Syu
T60 Arch Linux rolling upgrade pacman -Syu
T60 Arch Linux rolling upgrade pacman -Syu
T60 Arch Linux rolling upgrade pacman -Syu
(ok, I obviously haven't had my T60 since 2005 but the point is that Arch doesn't have releases just continuous upgrades. That's a smooth upgrade experience.)
Memory fault - where am I?
