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:

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.
