As I understand it, there are both text and gui interfaces to
linuxconf.

Hmm - I can understand your concerns with that. The way things happen
with linuxconf is that it uses the standard text config files you edit
using vi or whatever. Furthermore, you can use linuxconf today and vi
tomorrow - and the next time you run linuxconf it will happily pick up
your hand edits. So (bugs aside) I don't think that there's a problem.
