What's next in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (part 1) (Red Hat Magazine)
Red Hat Magazine looks
forward to the next major RHEL release, noting that it looks a lot like
what's in Fedora now. "For the administrator, however, PolicyKit
opens up a wealth of new possibilities. This can be seen in the
'Authorizations' tool in the System Preferences menu. If I choose 'Setting
the system time', we can see the authorization I just used. I can edit it,
or add new authorizations for other users. I can even add implicit
authorizations-for example, I could set it so that any user in an active
console session can reset the clock."

What's next in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (part 1) (Red Hat Magazine) Posted Jul 30, 2008 19:41 UTC (Wed) by darwish07 (subscriber, #49520) [Link] D-Bus is the rock-star of the new Linux Desktop! I miss the old days of simplicity where the GUI interfaces where just a wrapper for the command line tools. Everything has a price.

"d-bus is the rock-star" was not a sarcastic comment :-). I'd chose the well-designed GUI too, it's just the feeling of the close-to-complete understanding of my system internals that I miss. or maybe I just stopped learning new stuff for a while, I'll go and do my homework.
