Still scared of technology, I'm not much into CLI either. But, I have discovered it's amazing power to do some things really fast and really quick! It's an awesome "secret weapon!" In the right hands, that is. But, being a technophobe, I only use it when I have to.
That being said, though...
There's already so many supercool setup tools in MX, I don't know how it could be made simpler by making a whole 'nother one, or by combining them all into one super-setup tool. And far be it from a technophobe to say, "read the freakin' manual," even so: Use the excellent, superb, awesome, manual for cry'n out loud. Sorry, jus' say'n.

I agree.
The terminal is our friend when we need to find out the cause of a problem.
It is human nature to approach it with some trepidation at first.

And of course there is always Einstein's quote: "Everything should be a simple as possible, but no simpler."

Thanks.
I am command line illiterate. I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list.
