Novell Netware Admin (nwadmin) looks a bit like Windows Explorer and is very 
easy to use. The office manager at this one place I know is getting the hang 
of it and he hasn't a lot of experience at administration.

But what is it like to install, set up, and run? The docs went AWOL. When 
Groupwise MTA goes blotto, they restart the server. They're stuck with IPX 
and the Groupwise MUA.

Give Linux an LDAP-aware, point'n'click groupware tool written in a suitably 
portable language like Python/Tk or Java (like nwadmin), and the ease of 
administration argument is gone.
