Well, webmin is back in portage. There is also a new program called kvpm that is in a overlay, kde overlay I think. No further info on that since I don't have it installed. I just installed webmin and it is there so that may help you. If you go the webmin route, just emerge it, start the service, point your browser to https://localhost:10000/ and look under the Hardware link on the left. I can NOT say how stable this is or how well it works. I just installed it again myself. I seem to recall it was not maintained or something and got axed from portage. No idea when it came back or anything. Just be careful until you can test it. Maybe someone will pop up with another GUI too. Oh, it would be a good idea to at least know the basics of the command line tools. What if one day your LVM fails and you don't have a GUI? Just a thought. ;-) Hope that helps.
