You guys keep telling me all that, but for a non-tech user, both are same. both allow me to see a list of software like in Windows XP and then chose what we want to add or remove. So i dont really care whether it is a system config or a package manager, it allows me to add and remove software.
Ofcourse, it has been 6 years since i used suse, so i dont necessarily remember what else it can do. i dont remember having used it for any system config work.
Your words will give wrong impression to new suse users that yum can do all the tasks that yast does. Which is not true. So, even for non-tech user it doesn't hold true. Yum + system-config set of tools can be said to be equivalent to yast.
