Again, how is this self-explanatory?  That's the point some of us are
trying to make.  There should be at least a brief explanation to the
purpose of a module's services.

I'm with Billy on this thought train.  YAST has been the flagship of
distros since 6.1, the concept is solid as a rock.  Its bullet proof,
---not idiot proof---, and should stay that way.

The printed start-up guide is where explaining stuff belongs, not in the
control center.

In any industry, you go into the control center for two reasons: 1) you
are on a guided-tour; or 2) you are ready to go to work and control
something.  If 2), then you better know something about what you are
fixin' to do!

I would not mess with the basic functionality...perhaps provide a
side-bar type "lookup" dictionary if needed?  It's easy enough to run
the existing "help" systems in a separate window...isn't it?  So why
bother...

There's one problem: The users are idiots. (I mean that in a nice way :)) Any new user to SUSE is going to feel like an idiot trying to figure out something (I did) and the more idiot proof the desktop can become the better,
