only Yast is really SUSE generic, apart from a great amount of little config details :-) <snip>
Hi Jean, YaST is most prominent SUSE specific, but there is a lot of differences. Try to use generic Xorg X11 server with generic options. Hunting errors you'll see how different they are. There is a lot that should be mentioned in documentation that can be used by advanced users to improve packages, not in generic form, but in the SUSE specific way. That is part that should be added to Alexey list of specifications. Present is just for various levels of users, up to administering existing (given) system. IMHO nature of a lot of Linux users is to experiment, that is why they use something that is not main stream. Without spefications how to adjust source to play nice with the rest of the system, they are forced to reinvent the wheel, before any other action. BTW, as you mentioned before, there is a lot of work, and we'll do better to split it in small tasks. For instance providing standard SUSE documentation in wiki form would be one task that can help to activate many users to start adding, editing, asking questions. Discussion pages can be used for what they are meant to be. HOWTOs maintained on tdlp.org are free and could be used as a seed for more SUSE specific articles. That will benefit us and them as they can include opensuse.org articles to make HOWTOs more usable in the way they are ment to be, not generic explanation, but practical tip for everyday problems. Now back to square one. We have to rethink the opensuse.org structure, vote and do as agreed. Guys from documentatio team have huge experince in structuring books ie. chapters and indexes, and can give initial idea how to organize namespace tree from documetation node (page) further. -- Regards, Rajko.
