Hi, (YAST = Yet Another Sucking Tool)
Maybe your grandmother can use YAST, but I couldn't. The command line based apt-get/apt-cache etc. philosophy fits better to my mind. The best thing with these fency-fancy tools/wizards that they offten overwrite my config file modifications which were made by simple text editors. (I have experienced this on Mandrake) Maybe SuSE is a realy cool system from many points of view, but I dislike it. SuSE was the 1st Linux which I've installed to my machine and I got hate it very quick. I have used RH based Linuxies for some years, but I have found Debian's package management much much better and cleaner than the .rpm based one. > Tha XFCE 4.2 is not a good example.
