The CLI will do everything that Plesk does and more. The learning
curve is only slightly higher, but with Google and this list you will
find it _easier_ in the long run.

  There are open-source hosting panels.  In my experience
 all of the common ones have flaws - some minor some major.
 You can find an incomplete list here:

http://wiki.debian.org/HostingControlPanels

  Every year or so I test each of them, and every year I'm disappointed.
  I sometimes support Plesk, and while it has problems it is pretty
 slick.

Yup, that one. It will start and stop apache and mysql servers, you
can configure file with VIM, nano, or anything in between, browse the
file system, transfer files, and I think that there is even an
ncurses-based game or three out there.

Plesk can do lots of things. It also creates lots of mess (I know it 
mostly by repoutation. I had mostly the misfortune of knowing cPanel).

What does the server host? What type of services?

As much as I loathe Plesk, it beats anything I've had the misfortune of 
working with, except maybe CPanel. Of all the opensource panels, 
ISPconfig works the best for me, but it can be frustrating to use.


Thinking about it, most of my hard feelings for Plesk is down to the 
brain damage that is qmail, and sine Plesk 9 uses Postfix, I'm hopeful.  
It is a pretty slick system, particularly in the back-end.
