I am an experienced Unix admin on various platforms and SuSE's YaST is one of the best configuration tools I have seen around. And this is because it keeps track of huge amounts of dependendies (with dependencies being the price to pay for using a distribution i.s.o compiling the stuff yourself) Don't want to trade it for RedHat's junk even if they threw money with it.
