Some of the nicer GUI utilities for system administration on F14 run well through 'ssh -Y' as well; virtually the whole 'system-config-*' collection, as well as the palimpsest Disk Utility. The palimpsest utility, in particular, does a whole slew of things that takes multipe CLI utilities to do, and gives you lots of great information in a single window. While I use CLI (and I've used it for more than 20 years on different Unix and unixlike system) for many things, especially on slow connections, there are a few cases where the GUI is easier, as long as you have a relatively fast connection. SELinux configuration, for instance, is much much easier through the GUI, as all the options are right there and listed. Unless you have all of them memorized.... :-) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
