Default Re: Managing Software

I was once a newbie and I was delighted to find that Yast told me there was a problem with what I wanted to do. I decided to do what I could do and wait until I knew how to get over the problems that Yast told me I might encounter.

At least I didn't waste time trying to download incompatible software and I've never had the sort of problems that MS created with IE7 which interfered with existing applications.

For me Yast offers the right balance of treating me as an intelligent human being and giving me enough information to know how far I can go.
