Does any real[1] sysadmin actually *use* linuxconf? I'm not asking this to be
sarcastic, I'm actually curious. I personnally haven't found a situation
where using linuxconf has been faster or more efficient than just editing the
appropriate file.
[1] read being defined as, system administration is, or has been your
profession, and you are comfortable with more than just Linux as an OS to
manage.
Disclaimer:
While I am generally completely against using GUI sysadmin-type
config utilities, I will concede that they occasionally do have
their uses. I also believe that linuxconf may be a great thing
for novices and neophytes.
