Hi Gang!
One of those "Steam-of-Consciousness-because-I'm-tired" rhetorical
questions.
Is it possible to completely kill the GUI (qube2, raq2) altogther and if
so...I wonder...how?
It seems to me that the darned GUI is getting in the way of just about
every meaningful task that confronts a mail or www (or I suppose DNS)
admin out there. The command line is where meaningful things begin,
because after all, how many questions are answered with; "go to this
screen in the GUI and do [this]"...yes...some, but statistically fewer.
Oftentimes the GUI overwrites stuff and simply gets in the way of the box
working.
I'm not starting a troll in favor of webmin or any other GUI package out
there, simply trying to ascertain if the beast can be killed, and if
so...how??????
Regards,
-Colin
