I’ve decided I’m going to start looking into using OpenSUSE 11.1 as my main distro. I have started moving over to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 at work and I figure the more I familiarize myself with it then better off I will be in the long run. Yast seems like a very useful tool and I’m still playing with it. I will miss APT more than anything. I’m going to try and document the steps I needed to take after install here.
