So long, and thanks for all the fish

if I add a repository, it breaks everything.

I don't know if you still care about this, but if you do:

I've found that the cleanest way to add a repo in opensuse is to get a .ymp from that repo from software.opensuse.org, and then when you open that .ymp in yast, it prompts you as to whether you want to add the associated repo permanently or just for that single install.

Speaking more broadly, I've found that, in opensuse, if something CAN be done in yast, then doing it in yast is the cleanest approach.

Good to know. I'll try that next time I try OpenSUSE. I'm currently on KDE Archlinux and have found that if I break something, it's pretty easy to roll back to a working system. Having to work with pkgbuilds is a little frustrating, if not just a pain, but it is neat to watch the build happen...

Sorry for the delay - we were in North Carolina house hunting...

PDR60: I have been running btrfs for almost 4 years. Support has been included in Kubuntu since 10.04. You will need to install brtfs-tools for some features, but basic usage is available to you now.

Before you dive in, I suggest you do some reading on this forum - Myself and a few others have been posting about btrfs for awhile now. Other good sources are the Arch wiki btrfs pages and FunToo btrfs pages.


GG: The main thing that pushed me away from PCLOS was the forum moderators and a few members. I had the audacity to mention the existence of another Linux distro (Kubuntu!) in the Social section. I literally got threats from a member because of it and the forum mods weren't concerned or didn't care. They were anti-everything I know about Linux and it's community.

That was my observation too. When TexStar was away the folks he left in charge let it go to their heads. The forum became clickish and hostile to anyone who didn't hue the party line. They even blocked people who would not be intimidated. Under their control the distro's quality sank to unacceptable levels and there was a masss defection, including me. I went back to Mandriva, and from Mandriva to here. This forum is an absolute jewel among forums, most notably for its tolerence and mutual repspect members who for each other, even if the passionately disagree with eachother.
