After trying all the different distro's of Linux, I am really impressed with the polish Suse puts into its product. The most convenient Suse tool, by far, is Yast. The fact that you can run it under X or from a command line makes it one of the best admin tools I have used to date. With so much quality going into their products I hope that the Suse developers get the revenue they need to sustain further development.
I guess what I am attempting to express is that I hope the Open Source community model doesn't fizzle out some day due to lack of funds. I routinely work with SuSE (my desktop and laptops as well as SLES), as well as the hat guys. While the one argument against YaST is single point of failure, YaST does not exclude maintaining the system by using the other methods, such as text editor on individual scripts and conf files. -- Jerry Feldman
