The difference is that RedHat's X configurator configures not only X, but also mail, news, printers, networking, etc. It's a configurator that runs under X -- not really a configurator for XFree86.
If we are wanting to go that way; fine. I have no problem with it. As long as we don't go so far as RedHat and make the X configurator the *only* configuration aide in the system. I hate the choice of either having to boot to X or find configs by hand.
