of course, but the key is "installed". on the 9.0 (the last server install I did), nearly all the setup had to be done by hand and not obvious at all.
What do you mean by hand? Do you want a configuration tool for the server setup ?
The second think that could be improved is documentation. I like the documentation from SUSE Linux, but there could be more. Maybe some people could add more some server specific documentation to then next SUSE Linux Version.
I may help.
I didn't worked with wikis much. I saw you set up some wiki pages at opensuse. Maybe you could start with a start page and first add our ideas to this site. Something like http://www.opensuse.org/End-User_Documentation . I saw there are some articles about servers. But there is no centralised "start page" for them.
Based on the 9.0, I wrote a hole learning course (alas, for now, it's in french). It's free available here:

I plan to go to opensuse/SUSE 10.0 when final available and, if needed, I can translate it (for this I would appreciate some help, at least proofreading);
Sorry but i can't help you translating. My french ist too bad :-(
It's aimed to very newbie wanting to create his own home server on a dsl line like many can do today
Ok, i also do that at home. But that's only one possible option. I've set up some Proxy Server, Firewalls, Webserver and other small server with SUSE Linux that at some customers. For bigger, more important servers (sap, oralce etc.) i always take the enterprise distribution SLES, because of the support. I would like to see some sysadmins to share their experience. -- Marcel Volz
