[ale] SUSE package manager and install empathy

[Lightner, Jeff]

Not that it matters but I also prefer rpm/yum over the deb stuff.  I agree that rpm without yum can sometimes not be fun but there seems little reason not to use yum on rpm based distributions.

However, I can't see why anyone would base current opinion on ancient history.  Imagine if you decided never to buy a mobile phone because the one you had in 1990 was bigger than an army walkie-talkie or the one you had in the 80s required it to be hard wired into your car.   Technology evolves faster than people apparently.

NB:  RedHat 6 = Ancient version of RedHat (back in 2004 the oldest systems I inherited for Linux were running 7.3 or 9).

RedHat Enteprise Linux (a/k/a) RHEL is up to version 6.0 now and should not be confused with what was formerly called just RedHat 6.  RHEL was already at version 3 in 2004 so back then was already 6 releases beyond the old RedHat 6.

It's only change from the days of S.u.S.E as a company, and when
Novell bought it. When to the project start, it was set that the
spelling is openSUSE, so it hasn't change. It been that way since
openSUSE 10.0, and it won't.
