SuSE, openSUSE I recently picked up a copy of SuSE 9.0 Professional. I have never used or been familiar with a SuSE product before as I've only used Mandrake, Red Hat, and a bit of Debian. After using Red Hat for a while I decided to evaluate SuSE and I am now sorry for not having tried it sooner.

"[YaST is] not GPL, but I think it possibly still falls (just about) into the category of "Free Software" according to the FSF definition."

No, it emphatically does not. YaST cannot be sold, not at a profit anyway. Software whose binaries cannot be sold for profit is not Free Software by the FSF definition.
