Re: System administration tool

Hi,

Sounds super-cool. I think the real key to something like this though,
much more important than the implementation, is getting everyone on board.
That is, we need a configuration engine used by all the Linux
distributions, and ideally one that various pieces of software (such as
Gnome) can use directly.

Wichert Akkerman (Debian project leader) has a specification in mind for 
a similar client-server setup:

I think there's also been some talk of using the same setup to replace
gnome-config sooner or later. 

Anyway it would be great to get everyone working together on this
thing... I'll forward Wichert your email for you. :-)
