delta rpm

Few weeks ago, I installed openSUSE 10.3 onto my old laptop, Celeron 433Mhz, RAM 160MB, originally running on WindowsMe 
That's not used by me, but my student who doesn't have her own PC.
It works comparatively fine, yes, not very fast, but almost usable conditions, with KDE 3.5. Before installing openSUSE, it used Fedora Core 3 (!), which I installed years ago. SUSE is doing a good job indeed. openSUSE has no trouble to use Japanese with beautiful fonts, fine Desktop OS.
BTW, SUSE offers delta rpm for Opera, e.g. opera-9.23_9.24-15_0.1.i586.delta.rpm is only 739KB! Someday in the future, other OS users can use those kinds of diff files to update Opera with ease.

It contains a line like SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, bugs should go to http://bugs.opensuse.org or so.
SUSE's been using delta rpm for yesrs, Fedora 8 will have it, but not defults "on", Fedora 9 will have it by defaults.

I never did understand people asking for update managers for every kind of installed application; e.g. "Firefox has it, why not Opera".
And especially not the kind of "update checkers" that Apple and Adobe and HP and more recently Google have, that start with the computer and just stay resident...
