-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Got a couple of quick questions to ask before the holiday. First, I have a web server that is running on a decent IBM PC-Server 325, 300MHz PII with 128MB RAM. It's plenty fast enough for our needs. My only question concerns resource usage by the GUI, in this case GNOME. See, my boss is mouse-dependent and knows nothing about linux, but wants to be able to at least do a few things on that server, add users and the like. I'm much happier with the CLI, especially on a server, but can't really get away with not having the GUI for him to use. Now, is the resource usage of the GUI a major issue on this box? What is the typical RAM usage of GNOME running 800X600? I been using it quite heavily to ftp my web site to this new box and it runs plenty fast enough with GNOME running.
Second, what's the easiest way to go back to booting to the CLI if the GUI is already set to boot? Sounds like a rookie question, but I've never had to worry about that going from GNOME to CLI, just the old-school way of starting X back 5-6 years ago. BTW, this is RH9. If the resoures aren't really a concern, I won't bother with booting just to the CLI. But if it is, then I'd like every MB of RAM I can. Our site doesn't get a lot of traffic, maybe 1-2,000 hits a day. Thanks in advance for any input. And to all of us in the US, Happy Independence Day! - ---------------------------------------------- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain - Isaac Asimov Mark Haney Polk County Schools IT Staff -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBPwQbe+E7VA/jZY4+EQKl4gCgo4NeH/cIpHCxe//8kz3wd7GxzP0Anjx6 kTAGn/nrFZA0x4vje47ZprgE =IFdL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
