As 10.2 release nears I think into future - 10.3 features - and I would like to request massive updates in Yast - that is - new modules that I would like to see:
- Swap Manager (Yast GUI to manage swap files & partitions)
Swap partitions have to be handled by the partitioner. From (old) memory, swap files are inefficient and are best avoided. Just because the competition can't do better doesn't mean Linux must do it too. They can also be created with 2 easy commands. Ok, 3: dd, sync, swapon.
- FTP Server (Yast GUI to manage vsFTPd)
What I would really like is some quick and easy way to create multiple "document roots" with vsftpd, even if it means cranking up multiple instances of it.
You can't. And you can't do name-based virtual hosting with FTP, only IP based virtual hosting. If you can host different IPs, it's quite easy to do by running vsftpd through xinetd (and a different config file for each + binding to each IP using xinetd).
- SSH Server (Yast GUI to manage openssh)
Which configuration variables in /etc/ssh/sshd_config would you like yast to tweak?
I do think it's time SUSE disabled protocol 1 by default.
- Sax3D (Yast/Sax GUI to manage XGL/AIGLX & Compiz for 3D Desktop Effects)
Those modules are really *very* needed by the SUSE community.
Sorry, but 3D desktop gimmicks with high geek factor but zero practical use are not "really *very* needed" IMHO, but I do observe that eye candy seems to sell well with some.
+ compiz and beryl already have their own applications for configuration cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> __v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFaKRcr3NMWliFcXcRAiV2AJ0eA4CLWgOyT+F6BDfPkeOZd+kb/QCfYUDm r72MNcKTKDnrP0iQr7qS7Kw= =Kos2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
