[Gllug] Linux Conf GUI

[Simon Bunker]

Ah that could be it - I'll have to look for it - I just noticed there was a
linuxconf --gui flag
could be something else though.

Yeah that is the main reason I have been using KDE2 instead of Gnome, as
without this it gets extremely difficult finding where to start configuring
stuff. A link to Linuxconf is included in KDE's Kontrol Panel, although it
wasn't working without linuxconf installed obviously.

Also is this the latest version of Gnome or is there an update? Does
Nautilus now come with Gnome or is it seperate - I just know I don't have it
yet :o) And is it worth getting? (atarting to download the rpm for the hell
of it anyway)

On the whole though I prefer using KDE for now.
