Disappointed with Ubuntu Server, could be used by such a wider audience

[Stephan Hermann]

Hi,

I don't want to comment this mail in particular, but regarding the
difference of SysAdmins and HomeAdmins: There is a difference of people
who are used to "graphical configuration stuff which hides a lot of
important things which are important to real sysadmins".

IMHO the usecase for Ubuntu Server is to reach the server market like
debian or rhel or sles does...not to feed the person who is coming from
the windows xp "I'm the admin" user.

Yes, you can use even the desktop version of Ubuntu to install server
services like apache, icecast, ftpd etc. But this is not the server
usecase. 

And on a sidenote, I don't think web uis for admin work will help
to secure a root server for personal homepages. And with this web uis I
don't mean webapps like RHN or Landscape.

Regards,

\sh
