A well-written tool should work on either.
No, I don't *need* another kernel. But I'm not a n00b (hopefully that's
not a pejorative, it's not meant as such), and I like to explore the
kernel options and see what's out there. I'd like to have a way to just
press a button and make it happen, after setting my options - and to
know at a glance which options do what, which are dangerous, etc., etc.
Just seems like one of the things that is perfectly suited to a nice
graphical interface.
