While YaST2 is prettier, and there are some newer tasks that only YaST2 can do, like ALSA sound setup, YaST1 is still more flexable and powerful, along with being easier to use, believe it or not. It's also faster. SuSE, KEEP IT!
I want to echo these thoughts. The worst part of my upgrade to SuSE 7.1 was using Yast2. The people at SuSE appear to be making the move to YaST 2, which is ok for new users but for people that have learned linux using SuSE ( started with 5.3) and YaST, the people at SuSE should keep YaST. Give the people a choice, it's that freedom to choose that makes Linux far better
did you know ther is a text version of yast2 , try it from text mode. Interesting. I have found that the 7.1 yast2 version if far better then what was in the older versions. bu do like having the ability to use both. However if resoources ar tight I would suport yast2 as long as it can suport ALL that yast1 was able , and do thing that they may be going down that road in the future , in light of the fact that yas2 has a text version. so it would seem that they will incorperate all the yas1 stuff to a text/dual mode yast2. That would make sence in that you would have to suport only one version. Well worth the user learning to use yast2 in the long run to garentee a better version of our favorite distro , but dont loose the features in yast1 , move them to yast2.
