Revolution seems ideal for Linux GUIs

Hello again,
Having played around with different versions of Linux, it seems that the 
biggest impediment to uptake is a lack of GUI tools to perform tasks 
like maintaining servers and the like. I've since found a fairly good 
solution in the form of Webmin, which uses a browser interface to do 
these sort of jobs in a graphical environment. Webmin is written is a 
bunch of CGI programs written in Perl, and is an excellent tool.
However, having only recently discovered the wonderful world of 
Revolution, it would seem that there is a huge market for Rev 
applications that would perform tasks usually done through a command 
line. Is Rev able to drop stuff into a shell?
Cheers
Paul
