Yeah, but despite slipping numerous references to Ulverston and t'Noorth
in LXF, most people still don't know where it is. Next time I think I'll
submit my work via that Dialect Translator whatsit:

Absolutely. Even as a Linux user of about 4 years now (started on RH 5.1),
I still prefer to use the graphical tools for some chores. Thankfully,
YaST2 has an ncurses version as well, making it suitable for SSH/telnet
sessions or X-less old boxes.
