Re: Unstalling APC UPS Daemon using SMART (Suse 10.1)

I'm using a APC UPS battery on this machine, but it doesn't seem to be

it. I heard that YasT has problems on 10.1, and someone recommended to
use SMART to manage software. I did find that through YasT and installed
it with no problems. Zen finds on updates, but Smart does, and it also
finds the UPS software apcupsd.rpm. Can I, and should I use Smart update
to manage my system instead of Yast ?

This is Linux. You use whatever you like. I personaly use YaST, others
use smart, or apt or whatever they like. It is up to you. ;-)
