I laugh at myself for having written that, especially in light of your
response.  Most folks that have ever worked with me regard me as being
insanely anti-GUI.  However, when it comes to modern desktop
distributions of Linux, I've started using the GUI for simple
configuration maintenance.  I do this because a) I assume (oops --
that could be a bad thing) that the GUI gets a fair amount of testing
and attention; and b) without knowing what's going on under the hood
on on modern distros, I worry that if I manually change something
(/etc/resolv.conf comes to mind) some automation will come along later
and undo my changes.

Anyway, thanks for the answer...
