I've been working on some admin tools and will take a good look at YAST when 
it is made available. (I need to see if my efforts were just made 
obsolete. :-] )

As far as admin tools and Debian are concerned, I think we need to catalogue 
what tools, config stuff, and utils we want/need, plus what we have 
available; identify where the holes are.

There is also a good chance that YAST will become the de facto standard set of 
config tools for KDE based distributions, or that config-developers might 
unite behind YAST and work together on it instead of on other fragmented 
efforts. I guess we have to wait and see a bit.

(I'm also interested in writing a quick and easy to use CDR/DVD based backup 
utility, using K3B for burning etc. It also happens to be a util I want/need 
to have. Hopefully YAST hasn't covered that area yet. :) )

cheers,
