  I also switched to SuSE from COL.  At the time it was because I wanted 
to try a 2.4 kernel based distro and it was the first of the big four 
IBM supported (SuSE,RH,Turbo,COL) to come out with one.  I love and 
after the COL disaster I'm certainly glad I switched.

  As far as YAST wacking configuration files, I don't believe it ever 
did.  SuSEconfig was the culprit which gets run by default after you do 
anything with YAST.  However, there is and as far as I know (since 7.2) 
has always been the option to disable SuSEconfig if you wanted to do 
things by hand.  Then you can still use YAST to install packages, 
updates, resolve dependencies, etc., and do all your configuration by hand.

  I'd recommend SuSE to anyone.
