You can perform most of the same system configuration and management functions using either
the command-line interface or the Web interface. However, you can only manage user accounts
using the Web interface. The command-line interface includes some on-screen help for basic
commands and navigation, while the Web interface offers a more comprehensive online Help
system to assist you.
The selection of an interface is based primarily on your personal preference. If you are more
comfortable entering series of commands at a system prompt than you are using GUI
applications, then you may want to use the command-line interface. If you are more comfortable
with GUI applications, you may find the Web interface easier to use.
