Well, with the new task-* virtual packages dselect is just before
getting much friendlier.[1]

It's not a bad interface if you know what you're doing already, it's
just very overloaded with 4800+ packages now.

But they really should just `exec $EDITOR' to change the sources.list.

BTW, I know nothing about YaST.  But anything that uses function keys
will upset my Emacs-trained fingertips, so I'm not the one to ask.



Footnotes:
[1]  "Just before" modulo the fact that "woody" probably won't be
released until 2010, and the soon to be stable "potato" doesn't have
most of them.
