How does it compare to YaST and/or smart?

I have feeling that they take care only of one aspect, and that is to
prevent new user to make mistake, removing any "dangerous" applications. If
one needs just basic productivity and is satisfied with slow default
graphic driver than Ubuntu etc. is fine.

First thing that I wanted is faster graphic (nvidia FX 5200) and here is the
search result:
nvidia -- nothing
gcc -- nothing
mc -- nothing
... > 2 hours later ...
yast -- nothing !!

That was too much, I gave up. ;-)
The default nv in SUSE is speed champion comparing to default Ubuntu.

First impression is that free CD is the strongest feature of this distro.
They get attention of so many kids that can't download iso files, can't
convince parents to spend $50 for a boxed set, and learned enough not to
trust unofficial sources.
