No; and unfortunately, even that only buys you the ability to configure it 
using the "edit rc.config" stuff.  YaST is a bit limited in that area.  But 
rc.config has other benefits:  it's easy for me to maintain 50-100 SuSE 
systems by tweaking rc.config via script and then running /sbin/SuSEconfig 
to apply the changes.

/etc/SuSE-release
The first line is a banner; the second line contains a convenient variable 
assignment for the system release.
