gz or zip?? makes no difference, both are easy to unpack..


HINT: it is all the stuff that comes BEFORE the gz or zip that makes a
BIG difference..

but, why download source and compile it if you don't yet know about gz
or zip??

babbling about a file you can't find?
use this search engine: http://software.opensuse.org/search and then
install the .rpm by

1. right click on file
2. select Actions > Install with YaST
3. give root pass when asked
4. sit back and enjoy the magic
5. when complete you should find a new icon in your menu, not sure
where, maybe: Menu > Development > [something]
