I agree that the Mandrake config tools ought to be integrated into the KDE or Gnome control centers. What would be super-nice icing-on-the-cake kind of stuff would be if they'd do a Qt front-end to the tools so they blend with the KDE control center better. Also, I'd say if both KDE and Gnome put a config tool into their control centers, Mandrake should count that as a blessing - it's one less config tool you guys have to develop! I definitely don't want to see anything the KDE folks create taken out of the KDE control center. They put a lot of work into their tools also, and some of them I like better than the MCC alternative. Oh, while we're on the topic, I'll state my opinion that linuxconf was the biggest piece of crap I have ever tried to use to configure a system, and I am so glad to see it disappearing from distributions. Folks who aren't using KDE or Gnome would be better off with the current MCC, or even with Webmin. -- Brian Smith
