Cultural Exchange 2

Gnome would crash before the panel would show up. Also, the text console did not work (graphic artifacts instead). Failsafe Gnome did work, which does not have Compiz, so I took a hint to change the graphics driver. System / Management / Hardware drivers offered me to install the non-free xorg-driver-fglrx and now it works.

command-not-found is enabled out of the box and it rules. openSUSE should have it by default too.

dpkg phrasebook:

rpm -ql foo

dpkg -L foo

rpm -qa "foo*bar"

dpkg -l "foo*bar" (and it also shows packages that are not installed)
