My reason to upgrade 10.0 to 10.1

I'm fond of 10.0 and I kinda know it by now.
I had decided to stick with it for another while.

But Zen got me to other thoughts :)

So far I've had SUSE watcher telling me about new patches.

But all version updates have been on my own responsibility to check.
Because of this I already had decided to stick with whatever KDE (turned
out to be 3.5.1) comes with the next generation because I don't want to
get to this manual shit anymore.

I installed 10.1 on a test box, everything else went fine except that I
get nagged about signature check of the repos. I'm sure that'll be fixed
soon.

Now, when I added Packman and Guru as usual, the new Zen thing told me
there were updates available. I checked what they were he kindly offered
to upgrade all the stuff that had been made available by adding the new
repos! This is just great! :) :)


I then tried and added the supplementary KDE update repo
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.1
and this new friend of mine kindly again offered to upgrade the whole
thing :) :)

My favorite music source Amarok is now again the great new 1.4 and stuff! :)

I can see the light! I can see Zen! Praise the great Zen and upgrade to
10.1, hallelujah!

Some say Linux is a religion. In this great experience of mine I'd say
SUSE Linux could be one, made such by Zen.

(I just wish I'm not gonna regret this)
