Since I do not | exactly know what to look for or ask, the amount of stuff to read (=time | to spend) is enourmous. I suggest to digest this very intersting thread into one demand to the SuSE-People: Please, go on making such a nice distro, but, *PLEASE* document your policy somewhere, at least in some lines ! Just some words about the services enabled by default, some little enrty in the sdb ( fine thing, anyway), just to tell the littlebit advanced user about it. I hate to throw stuff out of the system, that might have been very well thought about by the SuSE-People, but i *have* to kill it just because i can't find out what it is. Especially when there is a very skillful solution in some script, it ist not that easy to understand. Remember, you are addressing the experienced users, so some hints may already be *very* helpful.
