I couldn't agree more.

A little mentioned choice would be openSUSE, which is direction I am taking.

I do not like system where configuration app can overwrite manualy set
config. I started with ClarkConnect in 2005-2006 and to route public
subnet into my network I had to delete last iptables command then add my
own, but only after config system did it's own iptables commands. I had
to learn iptables before any other Linux commands and although I
mastered it, it is left in unpleasant memory (it took me weeks and help
from rare Linux admins to find a solution).

I did try SUSE around 2000 but it was complicated to do manual changes
(if it was not provided in YAST), so after ClarkConnect I had no desire
to even experiment with YAST.
