Same's the case with RedHat. And maybe with other distros that default

Yast2 is supposed to be excellent. There are sysadmins out there who

IIRC, chkconfig is RedHat specific. The SuSE equivalent is rcedit (I
maybe wrong re the name, ages since I saw a SuSE box) and has got a very
good man page.

Not true. You don't know how to select services to run in SuSE.

Ever tried any of SuSE's own mailing lists? Where did you get answers

Can't comment on this flamebait because not familiar with the components of
SuSE mail server.

Anyway, to the list admin, how about starting a linux-india-trolls list?
