    ER>> Well, back in the SUSE 5.0 days, there was this one annoying thing   
    ER>> it had, which did deter me from it for a LOOOOOONG time.   
      
    TL> I think my issues were more to do with package management, I didn't like   
    TL> the package management system, found it more clunky than either Yum or   
    TL> Apt.    
      
   Well, you're possibly confusing package management with repository management   
   in that. yum, dnf, zypper, apt, apt-get, .... Are repository management tools,   
   while the actual package management is rpm and dpkg, between those two specific   
   ones.    
      
    ER>> And when I checked the process lists, there was something running:   
    ER>> rm -rf / which had a parent pid of the NFS servers.   
      
    TL> Ouch! :-( Yeah I rarely ran NFS servers, and never exported /.   
      
   Exactly. That's why I didn't use SUSE for a loooooooooong time after that. :)
