Hi all,
seems to be that Debian is the only Linux distribution which don't
have its own network configuration tool. If you didn't configure all
correctly at installation time, you have to look at many files, which
can be quite ennerving and error prone.

I don't think so. With a lack of a standard, one has the option of weeding

The lsb should stay out of desktop standardization. Not all linux
implementations use desktops (or need them) and it would be a shame to
cut embedded servers and various linux implementations out of the linux
standard. Desktops are a value added product that should be handled by

There seems to be an awful lot of fuss over someone's simple suggestion
of some way of standardizing the desktop. I think that everyone has taken
it out of context, saying that defining a desktop standard is out of the
scope of LSB, and that it would take away the customizability that we
have. I sa
