BTW: GUI tools shouldn't run on a server, but on the admin's (or<br>
pseudo-admin's) desktop. Using a secure connection to the server, of<br>
course.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I take it no one has any issues with web based GUI tools? The server could run a CLI and after installing, prompt the user to open a browser to http://hostname:port/ from a different machine. You could even add this as an option on the existing ubuntu-server installation in the additional software section.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This would work because the system admin who's trying Linux at home will be able to manage it. And it means the server doesn't have the overheads of running a desktop environment.</div><div><br>
</div><div>So then that brings up the question of what web based tool should be used. Webmin isn't officially supported. I can't comment on eBox - I've used it once but don't remember it. The tool should still have options like hardware/software tracking, so whatever tool is used would probably have to be modified. And you would still need to figure out a way to make Ubuntu desktops switch to a domain system.</div>
