Can anyone who is into Linux stuff please post here which most commonly used tools are the most annoying to configure and could benefit from nice GUI to do the job - it should be simple to implement too, say cron, Apache is certainly common but also complex. Anything as easy (yet used fairly often) as cron? This is for SKA but not mine.

??? What distro/version of Linux are you talking about? RedHat/Fedora/Suse/Mandrake they all have excellent gui tools.Originally posted by AtWI've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light. -
Can those tools manage multiple servers?Comment

I use subversion repositories to manage distributed configuration. I ssh to target machines to check out configuration changes over the network and restart the services.
No GUI tools are needed. No GUI tools SHOULD be needed.
Bastards to configure:
dhcpd
bind
apache
sendmail

GUIs are nice if you're new to Linux, but once you've been using it you start to use the command line..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I personally find apache's configuration files are really quite nice and simple once you get used to them, I think you'd have a hard time convincing any apache user who has got a bit of experiance with them to use a GUI version.
(Anyway isn't IBM Websphere just Apache with a fancy GUI???)Comment

They are nice and easy until you start doing mass virtual hosting. Then they can become a real pain in the arse. Not only that, but managing multiple levels of AllowOverride on a hosting server per site and not pissing off the users because their htaccess doesn't work is haaaaard.
