Description of System Manager in a Box (Personal Edition) program from Softdepia.com:
Linux is hard to configure and to keep up and running. It is meant to be maintained by computer professionals. SMiaB performs basic Linux administration tasks such as:
reporting configuration problems with common Linux packages
give tuning tips for common Linux packages
giving an overview of activity and job control on a computer
performing daily administration tasks
running your own regular administration scripts
It can be run directly in a terminal window, called from other programs or installed as a web server CGI plugin.
SMiaB does not claim to solve all administration problems or understand highly customized Linux installations. Instead, it focuses on common Linux distributions, popular Linux packages, and detecting problems like network configuration errors, package installation mistakes, security oversights and unexpected server failures--the kind of tiny problems administrators such as ourselves spend hours trying to track down. SMiaB gives administrators a "second opinion" on obscure problems.
SMiaB is based on expert system algorithms, giving it the capability to display implications. It not only identifies problems, but shows what software packages are affected and why.
This program has been tested against Caldera, Red Hat, Slackware, S.u.S.E. Debian, and Mandrake distributions (and has found errors in many of them).
System Manager in a Box (Personal Edition) is a "Free to try" program. You can download and try it for an evaluation period.
