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:

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.

#4

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.

Thanks, I looked up zypper commands and didnt see that in there.
Must have missed it somehow

Taken from the zypper man page. Enter

man:zypper

only caches of downloaded packages are cleaned.
