I think that this is one of the worst features of Linux. It is most
irriatating when you have to make one small change or make a mistake and
have to go back to the beginning. I have one friend who moved to FreeBSD,
and this was one of the reasons he stated for changing. I would list the 
FreeBSD method of changing kernel configurations as an advantage, it is 
not difficult after reading a small amount of documentation.
