Woah... This brings back memories from when I was a noob trying out Suse and there were no packet managers and I was constantly dual booting widows to know which rpm packages to download and install manually, only to realize that it had dependencies.

Do you guys remember Ndiswrapper? For when you had to use Windows drivers for your wireless card... Wonder if it's still used.
