Perhaps, but in a more objective sense, GUIs are an unnecessary complication on servers. Most of the time, nobody is looking at the monitor. Sometimes there is no monitor. A GUI just squanders resources on a server that might need those resources for something else someday. None of the server operations that a sysadmin might have to carry out needs a GUI. Operations that must be done remotely are a thousand times faster to do with a simple terminal CLI than with a bandwidth-hogging GUI. And the present of a GUI on the server destabilizes the machine, for reasons I have already explained. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
