I noticed severl programs in yast that conficted with other packages and I’d like some elaboration on the differences between them so as to form a better opinion on which one to use. "+"es indecate the word “and” .
"-"es are part of the package name. Please note the dependencies are also included i.e. progam ‘a’ or brogram ‘b’ can be installed but if you want program ‘c’ you have to have program ‘b’. The list is complete except for devel packages. I also hope that if anyone asks I’ll now have a good answer for them. (I hope that the forums are not limited to a certain number of replys.)

Lots of questions, would take long time to answer. Most of the programs
you ask are simply different programs, you use one or the other. Look
them up in the wikipedia, try them, make your personal choice. Or just
go with the default.

Without being specific, about the same as Carlos’s reply: some programs cannot coexist, for several reasons, such as “dangerous to run at same time”, “needs to grab a device”, “depends on version X of libY, other wants version Z of libY”

That said, i will indicate some things that may help you decide for your
self
>apcupsd or nut

apcupsd primarily supports APC units and supports more of them than nut,
nut support many vendors and monitoring all ups’s on the network.

I’ll bet kernel-firmware supports many more devices, but the iwl6XXX may
have better support for those devices

I think this will depend on whether you want regular maintenance tools or
recovery tools, but i may be full of pickles.
