Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "This is a step by step tutorial on how to install the server component of Puppet (puppetmaster) on one machine, and the Puppet client (puppetd) on another. We then perform a simple test to make sure Puppet is working properly. If you're not familiar with Puppet, it's a configuration automation tool that allows you to centralize management of the various *nix flavors running on your network. Puppet supports central management of the important aspects of your systems, such as: files, packages, users, services, cron, mounts, etc."

When all you know is "point and click" and it has to run in a GUI in order for you to administer it, that's how you get stuck using Windows for everything.

All my kids know is point-n-click. They are Windows-only users, and yet thay can manage PHP CMS websites (PostNuke, PHP-Nuke). These CMS programs have a GUI for configuring everything.

They have also been exposed to it, the vast majority of Windows administrators I know haven't.
