GUI sysadmin tools in SUSE
In SUSE, from the main menu, choose YaST to start your system administration tasks in the YaST Control Center. Figure 1-1 shows the YaST Control
Center window.
Figure 1-1:
YaST
Control
Center is
your starting
point for
many
sysadmin
tasks in
SUSE.
The left side of the YaST Control Center shows icons for the categories of
tasks you can perform. The right side shows icons for specific tasks in the
currently selected category. When you click an icon on the right side of the
YaST Control Center, a new YaST window appears and enables you to perform that task.
Table 1-4 summarizes the tasks for each of the category icons on the left side
of the YaST Control Center. As you can see from the entries in the second
column of Table 1-4, YaST Control Center is truly one-stop shopping for all of
your sysadmin chores.
