Hi,

(YAST =  Yet Another Sucking Tool)

Maybe your grandmother can use YAST, but I couldn't. The command line
based apt-get/apt-cache etc. philosophy fits better to my mind.

The best thing with these fency-fancy tools/wizards that they offten
overwrite my config file modifications which were made by simple text
editors. (I have experienced this on Mandrake)

Maybe SuSE is a realy cool system from many points of view, but I dislike
it. SuSE was the 1st Linux which I've installed to my machine and I got
hate it very quick.

I have used RH based Linuxies for some years, but I have found Debian's
package management much much better and cleaner than the .rpm based one.

I am very sad to hear it :( XFCE 4.0 is a living dream, that's the holy
heaven of Window Managers.
