If you want to operate your Qube2 or RaQ2 without the gui, that's pretty
easy.  If you want to completely disable (and even remove) the gui,
that's a little harder, but certainly doable as well.

If you want to upgrade to the latest linux kernel, there's already a
project (with it's own mailing list) working on that.
