However, I have read a few FAQs and the like. Take those for dhcp, for example. Yes it can be done with Red Hat but it looks like it is more complicated if I can read it correctly. I got working dhcp support right out of the box with Slackware and got absolutely nowhere with Debian. In that howto, it was more or less stated to click on this or that from within the config tool, so it seems obvious to me that it would be a graphical config tool. I have read similar with the rpm tool but I have looked at a console version. It seemed confusing so I avoid rpm packages when I can. Besides, it is probably better to compile the source rather than using precompiled binaries in most cases.
