> Did YAST *force* you to use it, Gabriel? ;-) If I may jump in here, I may have something useful to add. While I'm no SuSE expert, I did use that distribution for quite a while. It was my experience that YAST could be avoided for day-to-day management, but if you wanted to do an upgrade via their regular CD releases, you'd end up with YAST. What that means is that all the settings YAST keeps in its own setup files would end up in your text config files around the disk, overwriting your own carefully-designed config files. So, no, you're not forced to use YAST, but you're better off using it for all the services it offers if you have SuSE installed and want to take advantage of the convenience of updating via their 6-CD distribution sets as I did.
