In this case, the GUI isn't well thought. For one, a GUI can have  
instructions in form of context sensitive messages. For two, with a  
GUI it's much easier to fit checks in which prevents users from  
shooting into their foot.

Mac OS X Client & Server is pretty good here. The flexibility is  
limited, but if you do things the predefined way you can be pretty  
sure not to open up a disaster.

BTW., setting up ssh access, FTP or a simple web server is as easy as  
clicking a single button in Mac OS X. I've yet to hear one of those  
would open a computer for the botnets or similar ugly things.  
Accordingly, I have no idea why some Ubuntu friends stem so heftily  
against a smooth user experience. If you want things flexible and  
configurable (and complex), there are better distros than Ubuntu  
(e.g. *BSD, Gentoo).
