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.
