Let me bring back a little focus, and also bring up another specific gripe. To change the domain name permanantly... you have to go delving into the kernel directory tree.. change a variable.. and _recompile_. Then you have to reboot the machine. Why should I have to fire up a compiler just to change the domain-name? And while we're at it, why should I have to rebuild the kernel at all?
