Or e-smith running on generic hardware, which provides the same kind
of thing (a web interface so the locals can adminster the beast
without touching the console or looking at a shell). Add ssh for
remote administration (by someone who does know what a shell is :-)
and you're set.

As a bonus, there's a pile of people in SLUG with e-smith experience,
even if we don't count the three who moved to Canada to work for e-smith!
