Starting To Appreciate YUM

After being an old FreeBSD/OpenBSD user and Debian (now Ubuntu) lover, using yum it’s a pain in the ass (oh, aptitude, apt-get and co; I love you… and I miss you all).

Today I had to install some packages in an OpenSuse 10. After using YaST for a while… OK, I admit YUM is not as bad as it seems.

Anyway, a package manager is not something to worry about in a Linux distro because you’re most of the time doing real stuff rather than installing software. It’s a pity that my work actually it’s installing software.
