[TriLUG] Novell jumps into Linux

[Jim Ray]

I dunno if a GUI would do it...yet.  If you could run a terminal and do
things like md \home\user, chown and chmod from a script, you could take
care of the user directories and rights structures.

You know how those hp jetdirects used to work before microsoft got in
trouble with sun's java code?  It would be cool to have a web-based
setup to call a chain of those little terminal scripts to do the GUI
part.
