 ER>> Well, back in the SUSE 5.0 days, there was this one annoying thing

 TL> I think my issues were more to do with package management, I didn't like

 TL> Apt. 

Well, you're possibly confusing package management with repository management
in that. yum, dnf, zypper, apt, apt-get, .... Are repository management tools,
while the actual package management is rpm and dpkg, between those two specific
ones. 

 ER>> And when I checked the process lists, there was something running:
 ER>> rm -rf / which had a parent pid of the NFS servers.

 TL> Ouch! :-( Yeah I rarely ran NFS servers, and never exported /.

Exactly. That's why I didn't use SUSE for a loooooooooong time after that. :)
