Comment Admin Interface (Score 1) 821
I'd like to see a standard established for the system administrative interface. Of the two major commercial distributions for Linux being RedHat and SuSE, I'm not fond of the RedHat approach of a bunch of disparate tools called "system-config-splat". On the other hand, SuSE has been very consistent with their use of YaST across the versions, and provide a text mode interface for those situations where you have to network into a system to perform management. The RedHat "system-config-splat" tools require a GUI, and tunneling GUI over an ssh connection is slow. YaST is rich with plugins for managing virtually all aspects of a Linux system. RedHat and "system-config-splat" is lacking in that area. By making Linux easier to manage, then it will be adopted by more inexperienced shops. This will win over the Windows admins. And face it, when it comes time for OS selection, the IT Team has a lot of say over what gets installed on the systems.
