   YaST was one of the main reasons I moved from Slackware to SuSE back   
   around 1997/98.  There are cases now where I'd like YaST to leave config   
   files alone (so I can specify options YaST does not know about) but   
   getting rid of it altogether?   
   Maybe it's time to think about moving on, not that I want to.   
   I had a look at Kubuntu a few years back and was very happy that my test   
   was on a machine where I did not care about the data, or pretty much   
   anything else.
