I use sometimes SCO, and there is (almost only :-) one thing that I liked:
curses-driven program to tune running system parameters (such as mbufs,
recv/send buffers etc.. - the whole stuff in FreeBSD's sysctl). I think it
would be extremely helpful for novice administrators to have it -even it's
presence alone would encourage people to tune their systems.
So, I think you could do something more general in purpose: something like
sysadmin's tool for tuning system's parameters. What do you think?
