No. yum[1] is the package manager. Similar utility in OpenSUSE is called zypper[2]. It is the new package manager introduced in OpenSUSE since version 11. Yast[3] is more than just package manager, it's more of a system management tool. 1. http://yum.baseurl.org/ 2. http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper 3. http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/About -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
