Day-to-day system management on Unix systems is a chore. Even when you're using a friendly graphical desktop, seemingly basic tasks like setting the system time, changing the network setup, importing and exporting network shared filesystems and configuring swap partitions requires editing configuration files by hand, and the exact procedure varies between different operating systems and distributions. The Helix Setup Tools solve all these problems, giving you a simple graphical interface for each task, which uses an advanced backend to edit all the relevant files and apply your changes. The interface looks and acts in exactly the same way regardless of what platform you're using.
