i would love to see easy configuration of system settings for ubuntu like suse has but i don't want ubuntu to be bloated like suse. so some questions have you tried it, is it stable enough to trust on a daily basis and does it bog the system down.

It works nice but it is for Testing Purposes only at the actuall state.

Ubuntu doesn't need any sort of Yast. I like the various control panels that Ubuntu uses and it's the main reaosn I moved away using SuSE. Even in SuSE, Yast has to many little bugs that detract from the idea of it, which is very good.

Right - there is no "need".

There is no need for Synaptic, no need for Webmin etc. etc. etc ....

Sorry but this is no Argument. Who doesnīt want it should not install it. ;)

The Mass of Applications is the Power of GNU/Linux.

BTW - Yast4Debian is at a higher Quality as the one for SUSE.

yeah i saw that after reading a little more, I'm going to give it a try though thanks for the link, but since its still an alpha project i don't think they will add it to the repos, maybe once it makes it to a stable release they might add it to the development version of ubuntu, i think they wont backport anything unless it's in the development or stable version of ubuntu though.

Last time I checked It was, but Jdong or any other dev would have the last word here as they tend to change their own rules just as much as I type.

:D

They should have a look to Gentoo and they would see that a rule like "the backports limited to -already- Breezy software !" cant be the right Way. ;)

The Mass of Gentoo Packages rules.

I simply think this Forum is for requests - if there was no unpossibility or technical risk to Port them to Ubuntu there is no need for me to Discuss it.

Please SEARCH before posting. Yast and Backports have been brought up together many times in the past.
