This, I think, is another way of saying "supports all (major) GNU/Linux
distributions". Is that what we want to appear as the first item?
Perhaps we could have something generic, like: "Configure your computer
through a simple graphical interface" or something to that effect. Then
the former item may be the second on the list.

This is really vague and refers to two different features. I'd suggest
highlighting just the rollback, since it's closest to being really
usable. Something like "Restore your system's configuration if it
becomes screwed up"

> - Manage Clusters with one convenient gui

This is really vague (users will either not know what clusters refer to
or they will think it deals with high-end supercomputing stuff); I'd
leave it out.

I like this, though the last sentence should read "With XST, everyone
from novice users to network administrators can configure their systems
with ease."
