I agree. Well, you can click on "preview changes," but sometimes that
doesn't really explain as much as it should. Most of the time, it's
self-explainatory, but (as is the case with quotas), it seems to hide a
lot of the underlying functionality.
I like tools that make things easier. I dislike tools that try and make it
look like magic by keeping everything a black box. Linuxconf is often the
former, and occasionally the latter.
At least they keep trying to improve it. I just wish the innards were a
little better-documented without having to read the source code.
