Can you explain how the system becomes inflexible by adding a GUI tool? Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I think I like this idea. This will guarantee a fixed, non-flexible solution that will require the services of real system administrators to do whatever or troubleshoot in the event of a problem. In the end, the GUI will make some things inaccessible and I could setup a company and actually charge per incident instead of trying to convince mom and pop outfits to pay some monthly/yearly service charge and try to justify it when nothing seems to go wrong. Please make sure you do not say anything about raid1/mirrored disks, backup and whatever during the installation process. As for the initial ambitions of creating disk images, replacing Windows ADS servers and audit software, please remember not to mention that although there are no viruses for Linux, there is no guarantee of the Windows clients being protected, we do not currently have ADS support and you can forget about all the random software currently installed may or may not work with Wine if you intend to convert the workstations to Ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
