Nice magic word; I'm glad that I picked up English somehow.

Why should I have to select profile every time?

Well, what about this app?

IIRC, Design-suite spin of Fedora 17 has a built-in launcher that
opens Inkscape tutorial web page.
But how can I create one for my favorite GIMP tutorial?

Really?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Manager
"Device Manager was introduced with Windows 95 and later added to Windows 2000."

BTW, Yast is not a GNOME thing AFAIK; it is only used in SUSE related distros.
GNOME System Monitor and "Details" under control panel cannot provide
any *detailed* hardware information.
Put it in another way, can you show me a screenshot of how you check
the information of your WiFi chip without a Terminal?
