In any case, an inexperienced user should, in most cases, not be starting a web server or other complex service.
Unfortunately I used an existing service name for my example which leads to misunderstanding.
I rephrase what I was thinking about: When an unexperienced user reads in whatever documentation that he must for example "start foo", then YaST should provide a user interface, where even an unexperienced user can find something that matches his intent to "start foo" where YaST does everything so that the "foo" thingy works.
Purpose of Yast is to make complex things simpler.
This is exactly what I am talking about but it contradicts what Kenneth Wimer wrote:
There is no way to make an interface for highly complex processes that is simple enough for an inexperienced user without expecting too much of them or simplifying things down, which in turn angers every other user.
I understand what Kenneth wrote as (perhaps oversimplified): There is no way to make complex things simpler.
In fact, printing is one of the simplest things
A even more perfect reason to get rid of the overcomplicated YaST printer module because printing is so simple that nobody needs the current YaST bloatware module for it.
