Even for tools for configuring one particular thing, you'll be switching between different pages for different aspects of the configuration of it. So, on that note, it's not that different to use different tools to configure different things. Though, compared to some of the tools that worked on two or more related, things (different services that work together), you lose that convenience. There's a plethora of GUI configuration tools that can be called up from the menu, and I think there's still a control centre application which bungs them all into a window (instead of a menu). But I've always found the GUI tools to be limiting. For instance, they often only supported a small amount of the options you could configure, and sometimes you had to understand how to manually configure something to work out the GUI tool, anyway (e.g BIND configuration). And, from time to time, they were out of date. The thing that they configured had changed, over time, but the third-party tool for configuring them was still doing things the old, and incompatible, way. Or they required the configuration file to be set up in a particular way, or they stored a configuration somewhere else and updated the main configuration with their own, making it impossible to manually configure things as well. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
