Updating OpenSuse Feb 11th 2013, 13:30 Hello. Im a bit unclear on keeping opensuse up to date. I know there were several threads discussing same but I still am a bit in the dark As far as I can tell there are at least 3 ways (using gui): (1) Yast2 Software Management (eg from Yast, or Kickoff:System-Configuration-Install/Remove Software) eg Menu: Package - All packages - Update if newer version available (2) Online Update (eg from Yast) eg Menu: Package - All packages - Update if newer version available (3) Apper (eg from Kickoff Menu: System-Configuration-Apper(Software Management, or Autostart-System Tray) - Updates I also recall seeing "search in web" (webpin?), but I cant seem to find it now..maybe its been recently removed. I also seem to recall it never finding anything. Can anybody please explain clearly why there are these different ways of updating, what their relative merits are (, and possibly how they relate to using say zypper on the command line). Thanks very much in advance.
