it should not make any difference to a non-tech user like me. When Suse was launched with Yast, that was the thing that attracted people the most - GUI tool to take care of config and software. RedHat did not have it.

redhat 4 to 6 had an excellent gui tool for all this. It got broken in later versions. In fact I may not have been able to shift to linux in those days if the gui had not been there. And after RH 9 broke everything, Mandrake had these tools. Back then mandrake even had a gui for shrinking windows partitions and making customised partitions during the install - which was again full fledged gui.
