    Yes it is. If you just breeze through all the installation clicking "OK" linuxconf daemon will come up every time you power on and replace all the changes you did to the config files with your favorite editor with the sensible choices made at installation time or through a nice GUI configuration tool.

    Of course, you DO have the option of not installing it, or turing it off when you decide wich daemons go up (first time I installed mandrake I didn't see it).

    I didn't say it was easy to break. In fact, all that hand-holding make it hard to break - but it also makes it hard to fine tune to your tastes. Just turn off the hand-holding, and you are left with one of the best distros in town.

    And yes oh yes, linuxconf IS the spawn of satan. Although satan might take offense at that.
