Thank you very much for your indepth reasoning Dax kelson. Perhaps then the development team should work toward unifying all of the system-config tools under one system (perhaps a common GUI similar to YaST). I feel that Fedora could atleast use a control panel-like system to compete with SUSE, even if it may not be the dominant option. I believe a lot of people are perhaps drawn to SUSE because of YaST and maybe branch away from it, whether its a good thing or not. On 9/1/06, Jesse Keating <jkeating@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Yes, I'd be much more interested in an effort to take all our existing system-config-foo stuff, modularize it (it's all python right?), get it all on a common playing field (--nox vs --tui vs --text vs whatever), and then possibly a tool that can call all of them. But mostly making them all consistent would be a WONDERFUL task and much more effective us of our time. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
