You see, exactly that is the point that most people here will hold against 
OpenISP:

The Cobalt RaQs were designed as an appliance. Plug it in, press a few 
buttons, fill in a web based form and you got a ready to run server. Sure, 
there were (and still are) tons of cases where Linux admin skills are 
required - and everyone with a Linux webserver should have those skills. 

However, as long as even the basic steps of the installation of OpenISP 
require a lot of second guessing and/or jumping through burning loops people 
who knew and used the RaQs will probably not be the kind of playful lot which 
might happily jump on that train.

At least not yet ...
