Not to forget: sudo apt-get autoclean and yes, you'll need to get to grips with the various repos to install=20 packages outside the vanilla version of any distro. I've installed Kubuntu on a laptop and a load of extra packages for web=20 development. Have not heard any complaints for at least a year now. ;-) A point to note: Last time I used OpenSuse (must be 4 years ago or more) i= t=20 did not seem to be as flexible as ?Ubuntu. There were all sort of dependen= cy=20 problems if you veered off the beaten track. Also back then there was no w= ay=20 to upgrade to the later version. It was a matter of reinstalling and=20 reconfiguring. Things may have moved on since. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1664181.2OQRfmLlOK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk69daAACgkQVTDTR3kpaLYyeACguDAscVuDYn3CuQ/jgYu1FIRV ApQAoOUCt6DkT2yz/f5fPwrYl5E+nlVd =g0Dm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1664181.2OQRfmLlOK--
