Nothing more to say about it ....

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 doesn´t 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.

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

That´s the Reason to give it to the Backports ! ;)

Isn't the backports limited to -already- Breezy software ?

Isn't the backports limited to -already- Breezy software ? Is it so ? That was new for me .... :-|

#10

Is it so ? That was new for me .... :-| 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.

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.

off-topic: So wish I had enough time and computer to install Gentoo.. It´s worth a look - but i prefeer to have the goodies of Gentoo at Ubuntu because of the Usability. ,)

bravo 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.
