Yes, hello. That's what JumpStart(TM) is for. The unfortunate thing is, it takes a high level of technical skill end experience to configure it, but it does central administration -- automatically. So if you were capable of setting up and configuring JumpStart, then you'd never need to click around "in one place", because the system would install and configure himself -- automatically and without any human intervention whatsoever. This works, and it works beautifully, provided you have the knowledge required to set it up. The question is, should you have this knowledge? And I say most definitely yes -- otherwise you should be using Windows or OS X. On the other hand, both of those operating systems are seriously impaired when it is time to do any serious workloads. They're desktop operating systems, not one-can-do-it-all operating environment like Solaris is. Taking that into consideration, Solaris is doing pretty damn well since it is flexible enough to be used as a day-to-day MULTIMEDIA desktop as well as a mission critical infrastructure server, all at the same time.
