Red Hat Question

[Bradley J. Bartram]

Thanks for that.

It's kind of similiar but it's not really as flexible, IMHO.

Let me rant for a second.

If you look at most of the major Unixes out there, there are tools which are 
the all in one admin tools which are available from the command line.  
Something like webmin, although flexible, is kind of ungainly as it cannot 
just be invoked from the command line.  It has the extra overhead of the 
webmin process running, normally as a daemon, behind it.

Webmin is useful but for most things it's quite overkill.

just my $.02
