YAST is one of the worst systems out there. linuxconf is pretty close too.
Umm actually Novell seems to be doing pretty good including it in their server options and I would like your reasoning for demeaning it in such a way. Not that I do not realize it has problems of its own, I think too many people simply critisize it because well, it makes things easier. Personally I can personally compare it to the control panel and atleast with something like that I could do stuff much easier/quicker that way and if I was trying to help someone else (especially newer people to Linux) it would be easier to walk them through that/document stuff then have them cut/paste into config files and the like which is in different places usually for distributions anyway.Ubuntu seems to be building one and reinventing the wheel as usual, but I would like to see Fedora getting in with a control panel also and YaST seems like a prime candidate.
