I do not like system where configuration app can overwrite manualy set config. I started with ClarkConnect in 2005-2006 and to route public subnet into my network I had to delete last iptables command then add my own, but only after config system did it's own iptables commands. I had to learn iptables before any other Linux commands and although I mastered it, it is left in unpleasant memory (it took me weeks and help from rare Linux admins to find a solution). I did try SUSE around 2000 but it was complicated to do manual changes (if it was not provided in YAST), so after ClarkConnect I had no desire to even experiment with YAST. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant
