I know what you are talking about with YAST2.  I used SuSE for several
years and really liked it.  I ended up with Red Hat because that seems
to be the standard in the US.  YAST was a very functional tool that
allowed you to do quite a bit.  I get frustrated with what seems to be a
limitation with RH.  I overall like RH but it will be a long time before
RH is a usable desktop for average users whereas I see SuSE gaining
ground more quickly.
