I understand that. So the equation seems to be is the effort worth the long term benefits? I can tell you from the meetings and hall way conversations I have been involved in, this issue is a large part of the equation when an enterprise is comparing Windows vs Linux for x86 desktop and server deployments. It is not the command line that turns Netware / Windows administrators off (even if they think it is) it is the lack of consistency and thus the increased complexity involved in configuration the system.
