Having had to use Sles a few times, I can assure you that the config snippets that yast puts together is just about as cool as a train wreck; /etc/sysconfig on rhel, on the other hand is manageable in whatever way you want. For new people who dont know that much about linux, and hence would need an 'admin panel' there are the basic system-config-<tools> apps which are mostly usable. > - SUSE always tries stays with the latest packages.

SLES ( and not opensuse ) also does put in a fair emphasis on backports and trying to stick with the stable abi side of things. They were, after all, doing it even before RHEL came about. - KB _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
