I'm a maintainer (and author) of 'xAdmin' a graphical tool for administring
a Debian/Linux/UNIX machine (in that order :). I just started working as a
UNIX/Linux/Debian teacher (my first week I tought my students, which have very
little computer experiance, to install Debian. Some of them have installed RH
earlier, but thinks that although Debian is harder to install, it gives a better
Linux system... :) and I have not had the time to fix some bugs before
my first upload... Expect the first upload of the package within a couple of
weeks...

PPP/SLIP support in the network editor have started, but it is not complete
(much of the code is there, just not called)
