Actually webmin is web-only... But this question applies to linuxconf..
Yes and no.
Yes because it's "environment-independent", but no, because it just
doesn't work well (linuxconf, I've never used webmin).
When I used linuxconf (ok, it was a Conectiva Linux, so I don't know if
the problem is with linuxconf or with Conectiva) it simply throwed away
every change I've made manually on the config files (including
/etc/issue).
And also, for my surprise, it restarted the network when I've changed
the hostname (this was bad at the moment, because the only interface I
had to connect to the machine wasn't configured in linuxconf, so, I lost
access to the machine).
I think that to something like that work it must be package-oriented.
Just like debconf is. Debconf works quite well, it's just missing an
interactive interface.
