## 2. Managing remote hosts

(This function is only available while running linuxconf in graphical mode).

Currently, it is fairly limited. It ask for the name (and domain if needed) of a host and connects to it using the GUI frontend. This will evolve to something nicer where one will be able to define a list of commonly accessed host. Also various encapsulating protocols will be available.

Ideas for the future include

- Browser to locate other linux host on the net
- Direct access to one specific feature of linuxconf (the main menu is not shown)
- Other support protocols.

Comments are welcome.
