It's actually a very nice server package. I've been using it for years. Using apps like Putty and WinSCP allow you to remotely perform commands at the command line and edit script in all your files, albeit it's easy to break things if you're not careful. That's why we back things up. There is great documentation available at ClearOS's documentation site to familiarize yourself and learn how to navigate the server and its packages. This forum is a wealth of knowledge as well.
