One of the things I like about the text-only interface is that it gets
me closer to the essentials of what's going on. Like driving a jeep with a
stick shift, a text-only interface allows me to get stuck in more remote
places. The lessons are harder, but once you learn, you have a much deeper
appreciation for the knowledge. And once you know what files do or hold
what, you can do things with a text editor you couldn't even dream of
using someone else's GUI.
It's more of an aesthetic thing with me than a practical one.
Ands thanks for pointing out this netconfig skeleton, Wil. It looks like
that is what writes/modifies the ifcfg-eth0 file!
