SuSE, openSUSE "Sometimes, a service pack comes along that really makes a big difference. Take NT. Before SP3, it was garbage; afterwards Microsoft had its first server operating system that was worth anything. XP before SP2 was so-so, but after SP2, it became Microsoft's best desktop operating system ever (sorry, Vista). And, now, with its SP1 for SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop), Novell has given an already excellent business desktop a real kick in the pants."

"a real kick in the pants."

Does this mean YAST is now faster... package management on SUSE has been darn slow for ages...

I wish Linux companies would not copy Windows on everything look and feel there must be better ways to "Create" Making the menu look like Vistas etc yeah ok thanks for the choice now stop copying and create something "New" and useful...

YaST is something that Novell is taking care of.Newer versions *do* run faster.

However, is this argument really an argument? For big site instals, you will use autoyast after building a baseline. For normal use: how many times a day do you really run yast? And you *do* know that you don't need yast to do maintenance, don't you? You eve ca use all those different packages under SUSE. SLES, SLED etc.

This kind of arguments just don't cut it.
