Re: [FEDORA] Re: [OT] Novell to Aquire SUSE

My biggest complaint with SuSE is the inability to just replace text
files and have them work, you have to re-run their config tool every
time you touch something.  Granted, I haven't done much admin since 7.5
era, so lots have probably changed, but that's why I never pursued them.
