[OpenIndiana-discuss] [oi-dev] Proposal: OpenIndiana Stable Branch

[Dmitry G. Kozhinov]

Hi Gabriel,

I am using GUI for the following:

- Start/stop services such as Web and FTP daemons. I do not know if Web 
interface exists for this task;

- Unzip files from a flash drive and copy them to desired locations 
(such as Web and FTP document roots); Change access mode for the files. 
Drag-drop and right-click. All requires mouse only.

Of course I could learn a couple of commands to do all that via 
command-line, but have no time to do that. Why bother if there are GUI 
and mouse? They were invented to make life easier. Why not use them?

Yet my server is the only computer which I can use at work. I eventually 
using web browser at it.

Regards,
Dmitry.
