Funny, I had the same problem just a few days ago...
Open up your web browser and go to: "http://<hostname>:98/" It doesn't really
have an X interface, it uses an HTTP interface. Caught me off-guard at first,
but it's a brilliant idea! Makes it not only network extensible for remote
administration, but you can do it with any web browser. Heck, you can use
WebTV to administer your Linux box...

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
