YaST

About

YaST is the installation and configuration tool for openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise and the former SuSE Linux distributions. It is popular for its easy use and attractive graphical interface and the capability to customize your system quickly during and after the installation.

YaST actually stands for Yet another Setup Tool.

YaST guides you through the installation of openSUSE. The installation is divided into a few steps. You will be asked for the basic setup of your system or you can even define it in detail. Enjoy the installation with just a few mouse clicks.

YaST can be used to configure your entire system. Setup hardware, configure the network and system services, tune your security settings are only a few examples. All these tasks can be reached from the YaST Control Center (see image). The tasks are grouped up into sections (on the left). For example, if you want to configure your firewall, select the section Security and on the right Firewall.
