I'm not saying you should, but it's perfectly possible to use YaST over an ssh connection, both graphical and text based. I do it all the time
Also, not directed at you but rather to add to the thread, all the SuSEconfig stuff is plaintext ascii scripts. You can find then in /sbin/conf.d/ in case you're ever wondering what exactly they do. No lock-in at all
There is also webmin, which has interfaces for MANY *nix systems in it. I use it for most generic system stuff and use YaST for SuSE specific stuff (finding/installnig packages, online updates, etc.) Seems to work okay so far (2wks only). You just might have to go into the SuSE sysconfig thing in YaST and turn it off for some services (I have it off for sendmail, apache, etc, things I do with webmin or by hand).
