What exactly do you mean by this. A network interface configurator? |

What would be great is an editor that would also allow the specification of |
30 |
package use flags (with nice descriptions etc.) and mask/unmask as supported |
31 |
by the prereleases. |

Gentoo is for this not different to any other distro. While we might want to |
36 |
create a superior user editing tool with say kerberos and ldap support, I |
37 |
don't think it should have priority. We could of course just addapt a general |
38 |
one to get the same look-and-feel. |
