OT - rm different on Ubuntu than Fedora

OK, I've got my head around this X stuff before, some years ago now - in one, out the other... So, my suspicioms are correct - it makes no sense to be trying to start off by building graphic appliance clients on a cli non-X host server because it's going to be the host serving X to the virtual
