Click-click, hosed up beyond repair. What I mean to say is that 
GUI != easy to administer. M$ has plenty of examples available.

The really hard part is to design something that really appeals to
the (general) sense of what is a logic. Assuming there is an universal
logic to sysadmin-ing.

I happen to really like the current installer. OK, it has some rough edges
maybe and as I understand the inner workings are labeled 'There be dragons
here' but from the outside it is not too bad. What's more, total newbies
to FreeBSD can learn to work with it pretty easily.
