sogrady: I have thought about using apt instead, but I’ve been trying to stay true to the OpenSuse platform. I use apt on my Ubuntu partition and of course Portage on my Gentoo laptop.

localj: 1) how is YaST any “smarter” than say Portage or apt? 2) I haven’t used Guru’s repository… I’ll have to try. I was actually surprised Packman didn’t have Awn in the repository yet… usually Packman’s a bit ahead of the curve but having no Suse rpm out there at all may be an indication…

1) Smart Package Manager > YaST package management.

2) Repositories for the Win. Guru and Packman are excellent. Guru has an openSUSE 10.2 RPM for Avant-Window-Navigator.

you could, of course, skip YaST in favor of apt which makes everything easier…
