Description
Yet another Setup Tool (YaST), is a configuration tool that is featured in the openSUSE linux distribution, as well as Novell's derived commercial distributions. YaST2 is a tool for administering and maintaining a SUSE Linux installation. It allows administrators to install software, configure hardware, set up networks and servers, and more.

YaST really isn't that great. Nine out of ten times I went into YaST on openSUSE, I was going to the add/remove software utility. I'm much happier with the current way of doing things, where I can get straight into synaptic from the menu.

I don't know why this has gotten such bad ratings, but Yast is pretty incredible. Ubuntu has absolutely nothing along these lines. Mandriva also has a nice Control Center.

YaST is much more than software manager: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Yast-network-services.png

I don't use SuSE for two reasons: YaST and the FGLRX-support...
