All I'm saying is that, once you know what you're doing, it's easier to edit a configuration file than use a graphical tool. And you never get to the point where you know what you're doing if you have a graphical tool to hold your hand all the time. SuSe is great for people who want to just get into Linux OR Linux gurus. But not for the rest of us who really want to learn.

SuSE comes with Vi just like every other version, so you can still edit configuration files by hand, as I have done. But when I'm running late, I don't have the time to sit and go through it by hand sometimes. But I have, so don't say SuSe makes you not want to learn. I've learned a lot on SuSE. You could always type "init 3".

I guess it's odd that my favorite is SuSE and my second is Slackware.
