Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe. Going into X to run Yast or using the ncurses Yast
to make a minor change, then having to wait for suseconfig to process every
other config file even though I didn't change them is a waste of time, IMHO.
Opening a file in vi or pico, changing the one line I want to change, and then
restarting the server with a -HUP is quicker and easier.
Of course, this is why we have chocolate and vanilla ice cream...
