New Linux Configuration Tool

paul.dunne writes "Looks like we are finally well on the way to getting a replacement for the old Linux configuration tools. Details in a thread on the linux-kernel mailing list. Basically, Linus likes it; it's written in C, so there are no "language issues"; and feedback on the mailing list so far seems positive and constructive."

Re:just a kernel tool

[jgerman]

I' m not going to get sucked into a flame war over the name but:

Besides, what GNU tool can you think of, with the possible exception of grep, that has as stunning performance in its field as the Linux kernel does?

Gcc, you jackass. Glibc, you moron. Bash, automake, emacs, make, tar, sed, patch, nethack, cvs..., retard.

any more than the terms "hacker" or "Free Software" will be used the way Stallman wants

The word hacker has been around for far longer than you, or anyone else who's perverted it in recent years. And regardless of what clueless newcomers mean when they say it, there will always be a core group who know what it really means.
