I'd go along with this, at least in principle, even though I'm a SuSE user and
at least for the foreseeable future won't be able to make use of linuxconf. I'd
also like to point out another alternative. I don't mean YaST although diald
support (and the restoration of suseppp support!!!) in YaST would be a Good
Thing (TM).
I'm referring to COAS, the open source Linux administration suite whose
development is managed and sponsored by Caldera. This suite of tools should be
distribution agnostic, so long as the distribution conforms to the FHS and the
LSB. I rather think that COAS has a better long-term future than linuxconf and
YaST, which have attracted criticism because they have too many proprietary
idiosyncracies.
Furthermore, a diald module for COAS might well speed up the adoption of COAS by
other distributions which IMO would be an Even Better Thing (TM) for Linux as a
whole.
