Been a long time since I had an Ubuntu, but is it really the case that you can't install Ubuntu without a GUI? Anyhow, your first part is correct: without a GUI, you can't exactly double-click on a file. (No doubt someone's going to become even more pedantic now and point out some way in which you can double-click something without a GUI. Probably involving networked file systems or something. If I've learned one thing from this list, it's that there is ALWAYS someone more pedantic than you are.) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
