You disagree that the ave. person is going to be more comfortable with a 
gui?  We're not talking the ave. Linux user, we're talking the ave. 
computer user, who, in most cases have never used a command line.

Yast2 or apt-get, you need to be root.

With the glaring exception of Samba, as we've noted.  Looks like there's 
a need for YAST2 and webadmin.  But then again, why use both? 
Unfortunately, it appears that webadmin does not come with SuSE, at 
least 8.1.  I've not checked my 8.2 box.
