I have expressed my ideas[1] to add and rework some of the

a bit more innovative and useful.
Please comment on the idea.
Rework (not a total rewrite) system-config tools use a common virtual console which abstracts away local and remote console usage. Anticipated benefits:
* transparently handle local or remote console (via ssh)
o allow configuration of remote services
this is possible now:
ssh -X my.server system-config-httpd
One question: I know about this method, but have never tried it myself
- doesn't it require an xserver on the host?
One comment: The crowd that really love the system-config tools would
like prefer not to be doing x forwarding via SSH
o possible allow for OS independent usage (example: system-config-httpd could be used from Windows XP)
You can do the very same thing from Windows XP.
I was thinking more in terms of the user just running system-config-*
on Fedora|Windows|* and just enter in a host and passkey|user+pass and
make changes to the target system
o allow for those who prefer not to run server tools with a X server installed to make use of the system-config tools
None of the system-config-* tools depends on X server except for
system-config-display.
True, but you do generally need a GUI to make use of the GUI system-config tools
not true.. GUI, TUI, CMD
/usr/sbin/system-config-network
/usr/sbin/system-config-network-cmd
/usr/sbin/system-config-network-tui
