Hi Mitchell,

If you want to use Emacs with the GUI interface sometimes, you can
safely ignore the emacs23-nox package. You don't need to have both
emacs23 and emacs23-nox installed.

emacs23 - includes both the GUI version and the text-mode version.
emacs23-nox - has had all the GUI stuff stripped out.

Here's how I like to use Emacs, so it can be used in both GUI and
text-mode at the same time. First, I start Emacs in daemon mode:

emacs --daemon

Then I use emacsclient to open files from the command line or
from a file manager.

emacsclient myfile.txt -c
emacsclient myfile.txt -t

Using the -c option, the file will be opened in a GUI window.
Using the -t option, the file will be opened in text mode.

Hope this helps,

Phil
