Hi before installing suse 9 i was using red hat 9 (dumped it after they effectively dumped me!!). red hat has a great tool for managing services called Service Configuration (redhat-config-services). it would provide a complete list of available services with check boxes on each to start and stop them as required. thats it, just a simple list, with start/stop (no complex run-level stuff for a linux newbie like me). it was quick, easy and gave a great overview of the services installed. my question is basically is there an equivalent tool in suse i haven't yet found, or if not, can i install the red hat one on my suse machine?? or better still, is there another tool out there that does a similar job easily? any suggestions would be great. thanks Takis
