- Am curious what you mean by I really didn't like its package management.tshepang– tshepang2010-12-06 19:38:45 +00:00Commented Dec 6, 2010 at 19:38
- 1It's been a while, so I don't remember all of the details, but dealing with deb files was definitely worse than rpm files as far as multilib stuff went, and the GUI programs that they had for managing packages were quite poor. At that point, I was used to YAST, which is pretty much the king of GUI package managers, so it was a definite downgrade. All around, it was just harder to deal with than what I was used to. Having messed with Gentoo and Arch since then, it might not be so bad now, but at the time, I really didn't like it. But I don't remember much in the way of details now.Jonathan M Davis– Jonathan M Davis2010-12-07 01:30:06 +00:00Commented Dec 7, 2010 at 1:30
- Thanks for the response. I also agree that YaST was far more advanced (in terms of features) than anything the Debian world had to offer. You are likely not so inclined to go take another look, but I think you'll find Software Center quite good. I don't know about the multilib stuff.tshepang– tshepang2010-12-07 07:05:15 +00:00Commented Dec 7, 2010 at 7:05

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
