Not necessarily, although shell-scripts would probably be capable of doing the work, possibly with a few small, custom apps to do the "heavy lifting". > > The ease of use this provides would help widen the user base, and I > > think the discipline of maintaining a consistent configuration scheme > > will add to both understandability and ease of administration.

If we stick with sh-httpd, it should be cleaned up a bit, given a serious security review, and also really needs support for connection-keep-alive... > Do you have an existing release config file form you would like > to base off of, or do we do one from scatch? Nothing nailed down so-far...the "whole enchalida" is up for grabs! I'd especially like to see a clean, extensible, understandable method for setting up complex networking configurations & static routes, since we're supposed to be targeting networking based applications...I have yet to see a method of configuring networking on a linux disto that I would consider "intuitively obvious", but I've mainly worked with RH and Caldera. Anyone know if some other disto has already solved this cleanly? > Every character in the > McDonald's theme has a menu item associated with it except Ronald, > what exactly does Ronald represent? hehe You've got me there...
