I agree, MySql admin setup is not a big deal from the shell. But setting up IP tables is deep voodoo, and for that, I need a GUI. At least, I do for all the ones that I've tried on Debian and Ubuntu Its not clear how badly you need a firewall/IP table setup for an internal server. One on the open net, that's another question completely. Sounds like you just need a bit of self discipline to avoid playing with the pretty colors on the GUI. You can, if you want, use apt-get to install the GUI and X-windows stuff, use it, and then have apt-get remove the temptation. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
