Have a look at http://www.webmin.com/webmin/ - this is a web based 
administration suite for Linux/Unix which takes a big leap in that

True to a certain extent. In practice a lot of organisations call upon an 
'expert' to do things anyway. So maybe it's a matter of having an ample 
supply of 'experts'?

*everybody* could handle UNIX, I'd be out of business...
