[opensuse] Stupid Updater and Stupid Installer - IMHO



The official name is "Smart" but they definitely aren't "smart".

Stupid Updater says I have six (6) updates available. Click on the
"install". Asks for root password. Goes through five minutes of
gyrations. Says there are no available updates. IF there are no updates
available why did it say there were six? OpenSuSE Updater is a much more
reliable program AND simpler to work.

Stupid Installer probably has the very worst user interface I have ever
seen on any program. Even Microsoft doesn't do anything that stupid.
Yast is FAR AND AWAY superior in almost every way possible. More
intuitive. More friendly. AND best of all, it just simply works.

With YAST and YOU to even contemplate something like "Smart" is ridiculous.
