SO, to those of you that actually know what you're doing, as opposed to me: Is this a ridiculous concern, or should I avoid 'mixing & mtaching', and pretty much stick to the CLI, or stick to the GUI, when making changes to the system configuration?
I've always made changes via a combination of methods - sometimes with commands, sometimes with yast terminal mode, sometimes with yast gui, sometimes with webmin, sometimes by editing a config file and issuing the appropriate rc or kill -HUP command. I don't see any problem with that, as long as you understand what you're doing. Naturally any change which results from e.g. running an iptables command will be lost next time you boot, but other than that, I can't think of any down side, and certainly nothing that would damage the OS. I also think it makes you a more effective admin if you know more than one way of getting something done.
