Follow the link I posted and find the shot (last page) of them installing IIS from the command line. I'm a BSD guy. I know about compiling and building with options, ifconfig, vi, bash vs. sh, and long command line operations. But the example they give is just installing an app. It's fine to have the option of doing everything on the command line, I just think since they included *some* graphical applications would it have killed them to include appwiz.cpl? Obviously the GUI is still there. At the moment it just seems a very clunky hybrid. From a resource standpoint it seems not worth the trade for lack of GUI. From a security standpoint I'm sure it's better but by how much exactly we'll just have to wait.

That's surely an item of debate:) Those comfortable at the shell (especially those who automate in large scale) will not be worried. Once I started using Redhat at work, I decided to force myself to learn it by using Fedora on my desktop at home. All I can say is that I can *never* be without that power in my life again! Since then, I have replicated many tasks I otherwise would have done with Windows with Redhat and just love the concept of no gui. The lack of a striped version of Windows has been MS's scorn since day one. You can clearly see over time the goal of getting there. I remember the days when you *had* to setup a window boxen carefully, then bring into production/online :) I am very pro MS (don't confuse me for a tin foil hat Linux advocate) but this is a welcome product amongst those who require it. jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
