</div>When to use what and what are pure command line options ?<br><br></div>For example if Firewall had to allow certain services I could not do it in one line. I had to navigate menus to do it.<br><br></div>Also comparing to Ubuntu, there are the regular repos and the ppa's. Isnt there a similar concept in SLES / Open SUSE ?<br>
<br></div>Can we mix and match repos between SLES and OpenSuse ? and what about between minor version say between 11.1 and 11.4 ?<br><br></div>-Narahari<br></div>
