    To be honest, Linux IS command line. That's what it was made for. If it was made to have GUI, GNOME would be part of the installation.

    Well, it's at least command line on the server. You won't see me complaining about it on the desktop, but it doesn't even make sense to me to have a desktop environment (or even a GUI) on a server - it's not like Linux has full-fledged GUI-based server management tools like Windows Server.

    Exactly what I meant, I just didn't say it correctly.

    Why buy a server and use a GUI.

    :p
