Right.
I used to give 'Solaris System Administrator' courses, which meant I
had to show SMC as well.
That would usually go like this:
- "People, after the coffee break, we'll look at Sun Mangement Center".
- I then instruct people how to start SMC.
- We go for coffee.
- By the time we get back, SMC is finally ready.
- I show how utterly slow the GUI is.
- I conclude the lesson with: "Now you know why real sysadmins use
the command line".
