'''YaST''' ([[Yet another]] Setup Tool<ref>{{cite web|title=YaST2 Resource Page|url=http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.1/|access-date= 2008-06-29}}</ref>) is a Linux [[operating system]] setup and [[computer configuration|configuration]] tool.

YaST is featured in the [[openSUSE]] [[Linux distribution]], as well as in [[SUSE Linux|SUSE]]'s derived commercial distributions. It is also part of the defunct [[United Linux]].

YaST features tools that can configure many aspects of the system.

YaST was released first in April 1995. The first SuSE distribution that included YaST was released in May 1996. YaST was re-written in 1999 and included first in SuSE Linux 6.3 as only an installer. YaST2 was added to the desktop in SuSE Linux 6.4 and co-existed with YaST1 until YaST1's removal in SuSE Linux 8.0.
