Exactly.  And don't forget that when you edit the config via the web GUI, 
every variable is a hyperlink to the documentation.  It doesn't take that long 
to understand that way.  I do *everything* by the command line, so it says a 
great deal about the quality of the web interface and documentation that I 
prefer it.
