Yast is like a system configuration utility, yum is a package manager.

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.

With yast you can setup your networking, sound, printer etc. It is like a control panel.
