https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=265863 ------- Comment #7 from jt@newmarket.k12.nh.us 2007-05-18 06:20 MST ------- " (e.g. these if-else statements from http://pastebin.ca/446503 - come on, that's so advanced setup that if you really use that, you probably don't need any UI and can edit dhcpd.conf by hand)" That is a common LTSP config and something a lot of people will need to implement something similiar to when Novell release the SUSE Linux Enterprise Thin Client and if SuSE can't make this part of the gui choices\wizard then the contextual help for this module and it's overall unintuitive design needs A LOT of work, I'm not that new to networking that I should need to now how to write syntax for any Linux dhcp.conf file, this is a service frequently touched and in the future more frequently by people with a lot less training and experience than my 13 years brings. Many of the folks who will be implementing SuSE in the small to medium size business are accountants with some light training in networking using Microsoft products, teaching them to use the CL is not going to happen, they will look at SuSE\linux once and if they can't be pointed to the right things from the gui, they will go back to what they know and linux in that organization is done for ever. As much as it is true that Linux is a support industry rather than a license industry, trading off these types of complexity for initial purchase price isn't going to be an acceptable option for the guy who is the accountant in a one - two million dollar a year business and has to split his time between "the books" and our books\documentation. Accountants even if they aren't the part time tech guy know what "Total Cost of Ownership" means. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
