Summary
This spec describes a high level design for a Linux Configuration Console for customized administrative consoles.
Rationale
Custom Linux Configuration Consoles (LCC) would allow users to quickly access their common administrative tasks. Further, a standard API for these configuration consoles would allow them to be shared between LCC interfaces for Qt, GTK, or Curses.
