I hadn't had any post-update maintenance nightmares yet. Well, not nightmares. I want to know what is done and what happens on my system. Otherwise I would recommend a different distro. But to be honest I had a lot more post-update nightmares with SuSE, because YaST has always overridden my configurations. This can't happen with Arch due to the .pacnew files.
Only for the stats: In the case of updating packages Yast, and im suprised that you use this more than zypper, don't touch changed config files because opensuse, and every other rpm basesd distribution, do the same as archlinux with *.rpmsave and *.rpmnew files. As i said in the other posting, i don't think that any packager on this planet do mistakes with intent but they be even possible because we are all only humans. -) See you, Attila
