Thanks for the review dude :P If only ubuntu dev team can bring in Suse's yast 
over , I will be jumping with joy. I don't like suse much but yast is one 
damn good. Its firestarter/synaptic/SE Linux/Network manager ... and more!!! 
All under one app ... 

I can't tell ya how I appreciate it when I was working for IT company last 
year and I had to troubleshoot servers over the net with ssh... commandline 
yast saved my ass many times. damn I miss it ...
