GUI server tools?

For the record Dave, I absolutely agree with your last two emails -
despite the fact that that may sound contrary to what I said
originally.

I think an Ubuntu equivalent of the "server" tools (more like
filesharing tools) that OS X provides would be a welcome and wonderful
addition. If you notice though in OS X, the GUI pretty much just lets
you turn these services on and off. If you need to configure things,
you still have to edit config files (unless I'm missing something). I
guess my previous point was that it would have been silly for the
developers to "hack" something in for the Warty release. I can't seem
to find the old message which said these tools would probably be in a
future release. You can always keep an eye on the release goals for
each version on the wiki though, like this one for Hoary.

I'm particularly interested in the "SVG-aware eye candy" with Mr.
Shuttleworth himself listed as being responsible. :-)
