ED>Sorry for this bit of ramble, but my opinion is that just because it's not ED>hard core or 'the way it was done' doesn't mean it shouldn't be done like ED>that. I really do think it IS all a little backwards and not exactly ED>progression. I think the point that both David and were making (he said it whilst I thunk it :-) is that linuxconf isn't safe or robust enough to use. I don't actually have anything against GUI config tools as long as they work well but I cannot say that about linuxconf and I've lost track of how many times I've heard people complain about changes they've made to their sendmail config dissappearing after a reboot and a small pile of other broken behavior that linuxconf was responsible for. Some of the new GUI tools RH has put into 7.2 work quite well and I haven't gotten rid of them so it;'s not GUI's I am opposed to... it's broken GUI's I have a problem with. David also has a point when he says that this type of GUI might be harmful if used as a crutch. It's always better (IMHO) to actually know what your system is doing without adding an additional layer of complexity. - -- csm Dmitry is free! Boycott Adobe! Repeal the DMCA!
