system-control-network can be started by normal users. system-config-network can only be started as root. GUI overhaul in the works. "system-control-network can be started by normal users. system-config-network can only be started as root." Well, yes. So what? In a unified program, when the user wnts to change something they're not allowed to, that's when you ask for root password. After all most computers these days are either single-user desktop machines, or server machines where anybody who would need Desktop Device Control would also need Network Configuration. Having multiple places where one can examine and set the same information is usually not a good thing. The exception is if something belongs in multiple categoris. E.g. "screen blanking" can belong in "display" or in "power management". But "network device control" and "network configuration" are both "networking". "GUI overhaul in the works." Hopefully that will include reducing the number of different configuration tools. then remove the icon of system-config-network and only use system-control-network, cause there is a button which runs system-config-network :-P |
