Entitled?  Really?  Why?  Due to the great expense of the OS?  Because of
their vast contributions in resources and code?  Entitlement to the effort
of others is something I have trouble swallowing.

Thought I would go ahead and say that I wouldn't trust linuxconf to do 
anything on my system.  Haven't used webmin, but I also haven't heard
it attacked with as much vitriol as people summon up when linuxconf
comes into the picture.  Someone on this group once referred to 
linuxconf as a great admin training tool.  In as much as, you can use it
to "configure" the system and then spend the day trying to fix it.

But since you seem most interested in network shares, which based on 
your earlier comments I assume to be smb shares, may I recommend
looking into LinNeighborhood.  Graphical smb share browser.  I used
it a while back, seemed to work fine.
