YaST is a replacement. YaST is the original way... and I'm not sure we need to coddle users since we claim to be not for beginners anyway.
Who says openSUSE is not for beginners? SuSE/openSUSE was my first distro (version 6.x), and I've never used any other for serious work. My computers are used for the usual mail/browsing/office/games and as a hobby. The latter is one of the reasons I prefer linux to the other operating system.
Beginners have to climb a learning curve, whatever system they start on, but I don't think openSUSE is particularly harder in that respect. My wife, who is very non-techy, made the transition from Windows to oS fairly painlessly, though I am still responsible for applying patches and upgrades. But that was no different with Windows, and on linux I can ssh into her machine and su to do those tasks - and yes, we do still live in the same house :)
Just my (possibly OT) 2p worth.
Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 2.6.37.6-0.9-desktop Distro: openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) Uptime: 18:00pm up 9 days 3:39, 4 users, load average: 4.22, 2.64, 1.30 I agree with you actually, but it is what I have heard. OpenSUSE was the first distro I tried that worked... the one that failed being Ubuntu. Granted back then, I knew almost nothing... which is bonus points for openSUSE. I think that was 10.3 or some such.
