I'll agree.  Problem is, when I want to upgrade something, I can't get
it from www.rpmfind.net as I have in the past.  Apparently, because the
rpm is named different, the dependencies are all screwed up.

Suse has been, by far the most flawless install I've ever had, I just
don't know if I'll be able to stick with it since I can't find the rpms
I'm looking for.
