Shouldn't be a big deal. If anything it's been much more carefully designed 
with new users in mind.

Certainly, any image type you can produce from Hob you can produce from 
Toaster.

Toaster is entirely web-based so that isn't possible I'm afraid. It doesn't 
require a separate web server though if that's what you're concerned about - 
the default configuration is to run on a single machine and not listen 
externally.
