Linux installers receive a disproportionate amount of attentioncompared to the amount of time that most users spend with them. Ideally,a user spends only a few minutes using the installer, versus years usingthe distribution after it is installed. Yet, the installer sets thefirst impression, and if it fails to do its job, little else matters.Installers also have to continually evolve to keep pace with newhardware, changes in distribution packaging (such as image-based Linuxdistributions), and so forth. Along those lines, the SUSE team that maintains thevenerable YaST installer hasdecided it's time to start (almost) fresh with a new Linux installerproject, called Agama,for new projects. YaST is not going away as an administration tool,but it is likely to be relieved of installer duties at some point.
