It has always been a good UNIX tradition to provide -small- tools for individual tasks instead of a huge bloated one to cover many (the so-called "UNIX tools philosophy"). E.g., have a look at: http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch01s06.html "Fedora/Red Hat" has always been exemplary in complying with this basic principle as opposed to competing distribution such as "SUSE" etc. Moreover, the "System -> Administration" menu allows to easily access the different configuration tools. A unified frontend would add a useless additional layer between the user and the specific admin tool which he wants to access. > > Thank you very much for your indepth reasoning Dax kelson.
