One addition for this. If you'll anyway for some reason edit some
configs directly, backup them before you'll run yast2 next time. In my
experience, when you configure something (eg. Samba) under yast2, it'll
write the whole config again and you're little changes might get lost.

As with everything, backups are the key of surviving ;). Backups,
backups, backups...
