I don't know why, but linuxconf on debian is an inferior experience to linuxconf on Mandrake. It was ugly, ugly, ugly (was it compiled with lesstif/motif?) and the fonts were clunky looking. Mandrake's linuxconf was really quite good. I couldn't get my second ethernet interface configured with debian's version, for some reason. But then I installed webmin (now back in debian, thankfully). And it works great! Be sure to get the ssl version (webmin-ssl). -- Stephen
