One problem with administrability is YaST. A knowledgeable unix admin
will have no problems to run a Debian box. But in my experience SuSE's
YaST interferes with any by-hand tuning. Also an admin who has never
used YaST before must first learn how to use it, and also learn what's
different with YaST, what works, and what the flaws are.
