About the latter -- it's hard for me to be sure, since for many things something with a GUI is not my first choice of tool, but my impression is that on "user-friendly" Linux distributions, pretty much everything, including sysadmin stuff, can be done by pointing and clicking, starting with the menus displayed on the default desktop. Perhaps someone with more/different experience can comment on how many things still require scripting or a command line. [ snip ] -- B. L.
