Can you really claim that that is as easy as "chkconfig openvpn on"?
It takes 10 times as long to type, for a start.

Actually, your recipe didn't work for me when I tried it earlier.
I'm quite prepared to believe that this was due to an error on my part.

But I'll repeat that in my view Fedora is not thinking about the user
in the way it used to (and the way Ubuntu is doing more than it used to,
whence perhaps the fact that Ubuntu has overtaken Fedora in popularity).
It doesn't matter if Fedora is 10 times as fast,
if people coming to it can't work out how to use it.

This has nothing to with being "cutting edge";
it's just a matter of giving due weight to the user interface.
