Hi Premkumar,
I would always go for the CLI option. The flexibility and the options that a
CLI can provide is far more better than any GUI. I dont know how many ppl
would agree, but I feel the configuration can be done very fast with CLI
cause we work on a keyboard. In a GUI, its just the 3 operations of Mouse. I
dont think that GUI is far more easier than CLI. In fact I feel that anyday
CLI is easier than GUI, but yes it becomes easier only once you get familiar
with the commands. But once you are, its just a plain cheese to apply.
Regards,
Navin N.
