3.2. To YaST or not to YaSt
Yet another Setup Tool (YaST) is the main administration instrument on a SuSE Linux distribution. It combines most common administration tasks. YaST is not distributed under the General Public License (GPL), but has its own license; see:
http://www.suse.de/en/private/support/licenses/yast.html
YaST can be used in graphical mode or in a terminal window with ncurses. It is modular and opens new windows in a graphical mode for each module. You can get the list of available modules on your system (and shortpaths) by issuing the yast2 -list command, as shown in Example 3-1.
