Hum, I would have to disagree.  I don't even like the idea of
splitting out the Info Center, which I know have to hunt for.
I would like all this info/config in one place.  I use SuSE
precisely because Yast can be added to the control center.  I
also use WebConfig to add Webmin to control center and the
Samba and Nfs config modules. I
only have to go one place for everything, and only have to
have one Icon on the panel to get to all configuration.  Isn't
there already an "Internet & Network" group.  Just add a 
"Servers" category within it.  Or something like that.  Just
my two cents, I'm not doing the work.
