In this case, the GUI isn't well thought. For one, a GUI can have instructions in form of context sensitive messages. For two, with a GUI it's much easier to fit checks in which prevents users from shooting into their foot. Mac OS X Client & Server is pretty good here. The flexibility is limited, but if you do things the predefined way you can be pretty sure not to open up a disaster. BTW., setting up ssh access, FTP or a simple web server is as easy as clicking a single button in Mac OS X. I've yet to hear one of those would open a computer for the botnets or similar ugly things. Accordingly, I have no idea why some Ubuntu friends stem so heftily against a smooth user experience. If you want things flexible and configurable (and complex), there are better distros than Ubuntu (e.g. *BSD, Gentoo). Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.
