BUT, a visual interface IS. I won't give my opinion; I will one more time call you attention to facts like: you put someone familiarized to networking in front of a NetWare server and tell him a couple of basic commands; In a couple of hours he will be able to put the server up and running, reconfigured, and probably better than it wasw. you can make an administrator for netware out of nothing in a week or so, and all of this because of a friendly VISUAL interface. of course documentation is important, but also is the visual efect of organization. I am that case; I had to configure a Netware server to access Internet w/o ever having done that and I was able to do it in a couple of days, w/o anyones help (some documentation was avaliable, of course). But I had problems to remove one of the network cards from free, because I just couldn't find where I shoud mess. Documentation is fine, but just if you know where to start looking at.
