RE: Novell and SuSE

"Novell is hurting SuSE and the best Novell can do is to liberate the SuSE"

I'd be interested to hear why you think Novell is 'hurting' SuSE. Why do you say this? Do you think SuSE had more credibility in the enterprise arena *prior* to being acquired by Novell?

"I didn't like Yast. I thought it was cumbersome especially when you consider apt's elegance."

You aren't comparing like for like though, are you? apt is a package management tool, YaST is a set-up and management tool. Perhaps if you'd made the effort to use the right tool you wouldn't have struggled so much.
