[$] Modernizing openSUSE installation with Agama

Description:
Linux installers receive a disproportionate amount of attention
compared to the amount of time that most users spend with them. Ideally,
a user spends only a few minutes using the installer, versus years using
the distribution after it is installed. Yet, the installer sets the
first impression, and if it fails to do its job, little else matters.
Installers also have to continually evolve to keep pace with new
hardware, changes in distribution packaging (such as image-based Linux
distributions), and so forth. Along those lines, the SUSE team that maintains 
the
venerable YaST installer has
decided it's time to start (almost) fresh with a new Linux installer
project, 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.
