I've used webmin, but not for LDAP in the past ... I may check that one

It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the
distro/tool. Novell/SuSE seem to be focusing on taking the same space
that MS currently has. 

The problem I think your trying to point out is simple tools can make
simple things easy, but once somebody needs to do something a little
more complex that they hit a wall and tool gets in the way because the
person using the tool does understand how things work underneath.
