You need to create extra ".local" files to preserve your
customizations. Totally different from RHEL.

I can confirm that YAST is quite powerful and I wish it was like
'smitty' (AIX) and allow you to invoke it with command line params.

openSUSE has one big benefit which we do not have with CentOS -> you
can upgrade your openSUSE to pure SUSE (if you need subscription) and
you will be fully supported. RH refused to do that with CentOS - always
reinstall.

Also, openSUSE/SUSE introduced booting and reverting from a snapshot.
Now RH is on the same path with the "BOOM Boot Manager".
