Well, webmin is back in portage. There is also a new program called |
| 13 |
kvpm that is in a overlay, kde overlay I think. No further info on that |
| 14 |
since I don't have it installed. I just installed webmin and it is |
| 15 |
there so that may help you. |

If you go the webmin route, just emerge it, start the service, point |
| 18 |
your browser to https://localhost:10000/ and look under the Hardware |
| 19 |
link on the left. I can NOT say how stable this is or how well it |
| 20 |
works. I just installed it again myself. I seem to recall it was not |
| 21 |
maintained or something and got axed from portage. No idea when it came |
| 22 |
back or anything. Just be careful until you can test it. |

Maybe someone will pop up with another GUI too. Oh, it would be a good |
| 25 |
idea to at least know the basics of the command line tools. What if one |
| 26 |
day your LVM fails and you don't have a GUI? Just a thought. ;-) |

Hope that helps. |
