Roberto, linuxconf is a good idea, and for a fresh install a very good
tool. However, PLEASE try and make linuxconf modular, so that only
selected parts of the application can be enabled and used.
I've installed it and tried to use it twice now, but my system (which
has been upgraded from 3.0.3 --> 5.0) gets completely misfigured when
it attempts to "put things in order".
I admit that I've hacked my PC quite heavily, but the upgrades to 5.0
have been painless. However entering linuxconf makes it try to do a
few odd things which left me with a non-working system. I'd rather be
given time to find (i) what it doesn't like, and (ii) make changes to
keep it happy than for it to decide for me what it thinks is best.
Having said that from what I've seen linuxconf seems like an ideal
tool once some of the wrinkles are ironed out.
