SuSE Presents The YaST2 Package Manager

Posted by timothy on from the everyone's-a-critic dept.

AnonyMouse writes "SuSE presented the brand new version of YaST2 which includes a new package manager for the upcoming SuSE 8.1. OSNews posted an article about it, pointing off the mistakes made by SuSE in the design of this new package manager." Eugenia's review seems unduly harsh to me, but you can look at the screenshots and judge for yourself.

    Someone at SuSe needs to read a book on UI design... I couldn't make head nor tail of what those dialogs were trying to tell me, and I'm used to Linux. A newbie would probably reformat and install Windows if presented with that.

    Hopefully it was just a beta he was looking at and most of those dialogs will be consigned to the trash where they belong.

    It ain't free software. I'll stick with the distros that actually care about the community that supports them.
