The thing is we are designing this project with schools that are using RM and Microsoft systems. Now if both those systems ran there servers in console mode, then we would be aiming in the wrong direction. But seeing as they (esp. RM) are set up to be all 'point and click' this is a audience we are aiming for.
I agree with Matt here and from experience within a school I can see exactly what you are aiming at. Also, despite managing to command some element of the CLI recently due to necessity and not desire (sorry Thomas) I am all for more GUIs.
Hmmmm. I've seen the power of working with text files over a gui. I'd advocate the gui as a way in, but would encourage working towards the command prompt. Incidently, 'mc' (midnight commander) was the way for me into a less gui'd system. It's a happy way into not installing X on servers. Not one to try to show management when they want a shiney RM/2000 interface. -- Matt ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
