Keeping eDesktop Update

[teh supar faggort1]

Hi. I was wondering. I know RH7 has the simetimes very helpful feature of up2date, and I was wondering if Caldera's eDestop had something like it.

I am wanting to upgrade a lot of packages, but I don't really know where to start...

Thanks for the help.

Are you familiar with KPackage? Caldera EDesktop uses KDE 2.x and uses KPackage as an RPM package management tool. I'm not sure if you can download files from servers, but if you decide to install Gnome, there's always Ximian's Red Carpet. I hear KDE has an equivalent utility, but I don't know what it is. Regardless, there will always be some way to conveniently manage packages. Hope this helps.
Just on a side note, I'm not sure what you want to use Caldera for, but it's traditionally a corporate distro. Lots of admin tools, and very minimalistic. Designed to work, and to work well, but not much else.

I use eDesktop 2.4 and I don't believe it has one.

You can here (http://support.calderasystems.com/caldera) and in the pull-down menu, select eDesktop 2.4 and the other one select updates.

Also you can check by ftp.

Caldera has OpenLinux 3.1 in beta now and hopefully it will include better updating tools. It will be based on SCO Unix with Linux packages.
