Only /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow need to be modified to create a new user, though a new home directory with skeleton configuration files is also created if requested.

Yet Another Setup Tool = YaST for SUSE Linux
Yast is an administrator tool that allows administrators to install patches, add or delete users, etc.
Ta so sanga yast? ( Pashto Lanuguage ) mean how are you? ( English Language )
While SuSE has made a great effort to develop a wonderful configuration tool like Yast, in no way does SuSE restrict or limit the the user to 'have' to use it. There are plenty of confiuration tools that you can use to fiddle with SuSE and all of them work just fine.

DEB-like (Ubuntu, Debian): Synaptic, apt-get RPM-like (Fedora, OpenSuse): YAST, yum Others: Emerge, Sources................
Yes:Redhat and friends: up2date; or yum updateSuSE: YaST updateDebian and friends: apt-get update; apt-get upgradeGentoo: emerge world # (I think)
not quite sure why you want to use YUM instead of YaSTbeen using YaST for several years but have to use YUM on CEntOS install, and gaaaawd do i hate it, but, hey, each his own, right?have a look here: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2005/10/16/setting-up-yum-on-suse-linux-100-3/
Most Linux distributions do not use graphical installers for each individual program, so there is no equivalent in Linux. Programs are downloaded and installed through a single interface, be it Synaptic, YaST, apt, and so on.
1. Click the green gecko. 2. Select System > YaST 3. Enter your password 4. Click "Software" 5. Enter "apache" in the search box 6. Select "apache2" from the list. 7. Click Accept.
Most, if not all, Linux distributions have the compiler you would need to compile c and c++ programs, gcc, or the gnu c compiler chain. If you type "gcc --help" into the terminal, it will give you a short list of command line arguments that are needed, as well as briefly explain the various command line arguments. Man (manual) pages can be read by typing "man gcc" at a terminal prompt. Man pages are very thorough (read: very long) explanations of every possible use for a program or command. If you do not have gcc installed (I don't know how you wouldn't), you should be able to use YAST to install it. Search for "gcc" and install the most recent package. You may need to install the header files, and possibly the kernel sources as well for some programming.
