GUIs are great if you don't use something a lot. But if you want/need to
do a lot in a short amount of time, the CLI usually is the better
choice. GUIs tend to get in the way of anything even slightly out of
"routine".

First I'll say this is one of those theological type discussions. But
since I am sitting in a place swamped by rain and some hail, why not?
I think nano is great if you don't use CLI much since you can figure
it out fast. To me vim is better if you use CLI all the time and edit
a lot. Just the number of syntax highlighters is worth the effort.
Very quick to do a great amount of editing as others mentioned.
But again, if all you do is get in and change one little thing, go nano.

I've used nano a little bit, and it's functional, but not as
useful or quick as vi.

That's a matter of opinion. Invest a small amount of time with
vi (or vim), and it becomes a great "works anywhere" text editor.

I would guess if you did enough DNS to become
intimate with the CLI, it would be much better,
but if you do very little, like us, then webmin is
easy. We ended up doing webmin for all our Linux
servers so we can manage all the updates and
whatnot from one central point. Probably not ideal
for linux people. but for us its perfect. Just
build a base VM and everytime you need a new
purpose server just copy it and go

Betreff: Re: [AFMUG] Web interfaces for BIND
We run a PowerDNS master and have our public
authoritative BINDs pull everything as slaves
from the private PowerDNS master.
Our zones are kept in a MySQL database for
PowerDNS.
PowerDNS has a couple of web editors, this one
looks simple and probably does the job:
http://www.powerdns-gui.org/
I think I’ll probably install it and play
around as I’m sick of editing zones in the
database by hand :)
Not sure if that helps, but it could be a
solution if you want to go that route.

Any suggestions for this?
I'm tired of having to SSH in and type
things out. I'd love to have something
that makes adding zones less painful and
more pretty. There's just too big of a
list to make a good decision...
