My short encounter with factory as a rolling distro

Well I unattached Tumbleweed repos and attached factory repos as per the Wiki instructions [https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_installation]. Ran zypper -v dup -D. It all looked good. Ran dup for real. Froze after about the 74 millionth file download. Of course, there was no way to even boot it after that, let alone repair it.

Lucky I had a backup of my pre-dup Tumbleweed via rsync. Restored it all nicely.

Maybe I'll stick with Tumbleweed for a while longer, until they test and prove the Factory-rolling-distro model a bit more.

It was fun though.
