zypper gets some love

[Heremod]

Hi everyone, although I am sure most opensuse veteran Users know the information in the following article , I just wanted to point out that zypper & opensuse got some love at Linux Journal:

Package Management With Zypper | Linux Journal

Nice!------->zypper

I am begining to really like zypper in openSUSE, I still like apt better but thats because I dont know the zypper equivalent to apt-get clean.

[deano_ferrari]

The zypper equivalent is

zypper clean

man zypper gives this

clean [alias|#|URI] ...
Clean the local caches for all known or specified repositories. By default,
only caches of downloaded packages are cleaned.

-m, --metadata
Clean repository metadata cache instead of package cache.

-M, --raw-metadata
Clean repository raw metadata cache instead of package cache.

-a, --all
Clean both repository metadata and package caches.

Must have missed it somehow
