I don't think so, in fact YaST is the most powerful config interface I've ever seen on Linux, you can configure almost everything in there, from software repos to the /etc/sysconfig directory & scripts. I LOVE YaST! :) Hmmmm, SUSE users remain inflexibly bound to YaST?

Waited....Waited...used the another gentoo portage overlay and hosed my system. I chalked this up as user error and when I started from scratch again a glibc error they forget to fix broke 80% of my packages. I did a 180 and spent the next years on FreeBSD and now a Mac. I love Linux, but Gentoo has fallen to the wayside, a good example of bickering ego maniacs ruining a good thing. I left Gentoo while waiting patiently for Gnome 2.8 to be synced.

I've just been taking a look at Debian Etch and I wouldn't say it's ancient. It's very up to date (being testing and soon stable branch), it has most of the goodies that other distributions have, but keeping fast, stable and flexible. I'd recommend you to look at it. Have you tried Arch Linux? It's the one I use and it's an excellent choice. >>Debian remains ancient.
