I'm doing it now
Little linux server down your way screwed up during a yum update in such a way that I can no longer talk to it so I am having to talk a bloke through reinstalling from scratch over the phone.
It's not too bad, it's a very straightforward install, but he's no idea what he's doing.

I know what you mean about talking non-techs through installs though. Particularly server installs. It sucks.

for smallish networks where they are too tight to shell out for winservers and don't need anything too fancy.
It took me a while to get comfortable with the whole linux thing but this makes it all piss easy.
