OK, I take back that statement to some degree.
I just can't picture a small or medium sized business installing any CLI

the impression that Server Core is only used by large businesses with their

Have you taken a look at Gadmintools? Specifically gadmin-samba already does

My goal is for businesses to use Ubuntu, especially as workstations, because
