Hey, you know what. I think I like this idea. This will guarantee a 
fixed, non-flexible solution that will require the services of real 
system administrators to do whatever or troubleshoot in the event of a 
problem. In the end, the GUI will make some things inaccessible and I 
could setup a company and actually charge per incident instead of trying 
to convince mom and pop outfits to pay some monthly/yearly service 
charge and try to justify it when nothing seems to go wrong.

Please make sure you do not say anything about raid1/mirrored disks, 
backup and whatever during the installation process.

As for the initial ambitions of creating disk images, replacing Windows 
ADS servers and audit software, please remember not to mention that 
although there are no viruses for Linux, there is no guarantee of the 
Windows clients being protected, we do not currently have ADS support 
and you can forget about all the random software currently installed may 
or may not work with Wine if you intend to convert the workstations to 
Ubuntu.
