"(yeah, that part is a little old-school, but then again you don't have some GUI making dumb assumptions for you)."
GUI interfaces don't make assumptions. at least not if they're good ones. Their job is only to graphically represent options and choices one would select for a given command or app that would normally be present from the command line.
I should have clarified myself, Annvix is not 'start from scratch' that is true, It does come across as such though. there is some pre con in regard to the startup of many services. Still, it is not as productive for a small business owner or relatively new tech to install and setup as it would be easy for an experienced Linux Tech who knows what to expect from a command line interface.
All in all, a good learning tool , perhaps a good tool for more experienced Linux folks, that's about it.
