The thing I don't like about giving minimalistic gui's to linux is that if someone takes a look at Windows Server family, it will mostly look like the same think that they have in their desktops. Based on that, if you show something weird or hard to use, they will think that it's something like "Linux Server" and assume that a desktop linux would be something as nerdy as that.

Hi,
The best solution is Webmin or Ebox, it should cool enough for most users. Just explain pros and cons to customers, and hopefully they will buy webmin or ebox solution. (that is what i did for all my customer)
if they insist, openbox is the best choice.
thanks

much more light and you don't even need to use so many resource and to
have a lot of packages installed on your system, so it will be much
more secure, a little harder to configure and have it up, but more
secure and light

Webmin was removed from both Debian and Ubuntu because the way it manages
configuration files is not compatible with the Debian package management
system. *Ebox is a similar system and much of it is available from the
official Ubuntu repositories in Hardy.
