Probably it didn't happen to you, but once I fired up linuxconf to get an
administrative task done and "save time and effort". Well, linuxconf got the job
done, but it resisted in making several additional changes. For example changing
permissions here and there, breaking my internet connection, etc. Took me much
longer to fix up the crap that linuxconf made than it would have taken if i just
did that administrative task from the command line.
I never started linuxconf again...
