Re: RFC: A method to use Admin tools, like linuxconf

[bruce@pixar.com (Bruce Perens)]

I don't think the design of Linuxconf is acceptable for Debian. We should
be considering only alternatives that allow the system manager to manage
the system with a text editor by editing configuration files as they
exist on conventional Unix systems. We can assist the user by editing those
files with automatic tools, however we should not replace them.
We should not be considering a program that usurps the role of init.

	Thanks
