Yep. I use ssh to administer both of my servers, which are located in my attic workshop: http://supermicro.robertwittig.net/workshop/ ...from my Red Hat box, located in my office: http://supermicro.robertwittig.net/workshop/Image016.jpg ...because I am too lazy to walk upstairs.<g> GUI tools are great for desktop-type tasks, like web surfing and image manipulation, but are less efficient for a lot of stuff, like coding and sysadmin. As a Windows refugee, I do realise where Brian is coming from, but now, after several years of running Linux, I have come to appreciate the *nix way of doing things overall, and so I am less impressed with the GUI, which I start with 'startx' after I have successfully brought up my Desktop machine, and run a startup script of my own invention. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
