From http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/:
| Quote: | Formerly known as the Ximian Setup Tools, the GST are a fully integrated set of tools aimed to make easy the job that means the computer administration on an UNIX or Linux system. They're thought to help from the new Linux or UNIX user to the system administrators. The GNOME System Tools are free software, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
Its main advantages are:
* Full integration with the new GNOME Control Center.
* An user-friendly interface to carry out the main administration tasks.
* The use of a common user interface in every system.
* A common structure that makes easy the development of new system tools.
Nowadays there are tools for managing:
* Users and groups
* Date and time
* Network configuration
* Bootloaders
* Runlevels

I wouldn't get rid of it. |
