     SuSE is pretty close.  Setting up printers & the like
is done fairly easily with yast.  I'd still like linuxconf
just because it has a pretty nice interface for playing with
bind.  I've never used mouseconfig on rh, and I'll take
xf86config over xconfiguration any day, but options are
nice.  The only tool I find utterly useless is soundconfig,
which is good for true SB cards and nothing else.
