This has brought my focus back on the subject line for what we're all  
replying to. I think it's been stated quite widely now that using a  
GUI to configure Apache, SMTP, etc is probably unwise (RHEL seems to  
disagree, but whatever), I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing  
to have a gui for domain server administration, or essentially what  
landscape is already doing, at least in part: controlling users,  
pushing updates, monitoring systems; it may be worth looking at.

The Landscape client itself is GPL and could probably be used to  
reverse engineer a server to control it, if one wanted to do so.
