I had a problem trying to understand, how to use new Update features (they
don't use YOU anymore). Never got an answer (my problem was that
I had not separate registration keys, but have partnerNet account instead).
(I hate their idea of going out of well - designed SuSe set of management
components, adding Zend for software /which already created a mess/ and new
upgrade systemm instead of you /so you can dump all your YOU servers as
useless anymore/ and replacing KDE with Gnome /not a big deal, of course/).
