Currently, RH and Fedora are a "system management" nightmare. SUSE already
has a head start on RH with YAST. Actually, Novell has all the pieces for a
complete Server to Desktop (with maintanance) solution. Novell's only work
left is integration and marketing. Plus you have IBM and HP behind
Novell/SUSE. Red Hat suddenly realized that the Desktop cannot be thrown
out, it must be a bullet item on the sales document, even on server side
sales (I guess Workstation wasn't a desktop?). Even though RH has announced
a Corporate Desktop, its still far from a real, seamless, manageable desktop
as compared to SUSE.
P.S.
YUM does not qualify as management. Yum is just a software update similar to
"Windows Update" button in Internet Explorer.

I guess you are entitled to your own opinion, but having survived
linuxconf once, I would rather not take a giant leap backward.
