Agreed.  While I am stuck on COL, I have found that for newbies, SuSE is a
great distro.  They're a bit backwards from what I'm used to often-times,
but while I hate their config-system's gestapo attitude, it is very
complete compared to most other distros.  Even though it takes me 10 times
as long to make changes on my SuSE systems, I can usually make them
through a GUI app.

COL's not too bad on this, although you have to admit that a lot of people
just fee a bit more comfortable with a real application as opposed to a
Web GUI.  Caldera splits up the configs:  System-specific stuff is in
KControl (very nicely done) and the rest is left to WebMin (which I have
found to work exceptionally well).  The other bonus to WebMin is that it's
available on every distro, not just Caldera (and other Unices too).
