Debian Control Center
Abbreviation of Debian Control Center: dcontrol
What is Debian Control Center?
One of the biggest problems with new/desktop users of Linux is their capacity to configure a system, how to deal with proper stuff to have a installation working soon. Debian, being a distribution with high quality assurance standards and being completely free, let users freedom of usage, but probably a not very intuitive way to set it up. Because of the absence of a proper tool to do this, dcontrol project aims to fit this needs.
We need to provide good graphical user interface for configuration of already existing debconf infrastructure and use debconf where possible, only providing special code to configure stuff where debconfization is not possible.
The reason to create one from the scratch is to set up a complete native system with Debian, developed by and for Debian community.
Aims of dcontrol
- dcontrol will be available in four ports:
- GTK+ port.
- Qt port.
- CLI (written in C/C++) port.
- Web-based (written in Perl) port.
