/me clear the throat

GUI's are *NEVER* the faster way to administer. They can make faster a
very limited set of tasks. When I worked with AIX, even though I was
very comfortable with SMIT, at any time when I wanted to do something
fast, it was CLI all the way.

Perhaps you mean "easy" instead of "quick"? Or maybe "quick" as in "flat
learning curve"?
