RH 8.0 and GNOME by BluesByNight2002-10-03 13:22:51
  Alt+F[1-4]? Possibly Ctl+F[1-4] by Freakazoid2002-10-03 13:31:07
    Nope :) by BluesByNight2002-10-03 13:36:53
      ctrl+alt+f(whatever) (n/t) by surgo2002-10-03 13:39:30
        Nope. That's caught by the X server. by Avium2002-10-03 13:44:25
          Not the X server, linux itself. (Ctl+Alt+F7 is X) by Freakazoid2002-10-03 13:47:28
            I knew that. Honest. by Avium2002-10-03 13:52:10
              Well, hoping to get X running eventually. by Freakazoid2002-10-03 13:54:03
                But..but.. by BluesByNight2002-10-03 13:56:24
                  Personally, I like KDE by Freakazoid2002-10-03 14:00:18
                    I've got other problems with RedHat. by Avium 2002-10-03 14:03:57
Namely the lack of nice tools in a text based version. The main reason I run Linux is for servers and I don't want to use X to add a fscking user.

I happen to use Mandrake because all of its tools are smart enough to check the DISPLAY variable and switch to text based if it's not set.

My firewall, however, is Slackware since I can tell it not to install X at all. It's only got a 300Meg HD in it.

                        useradd (n/t) by Freakazoid2002-10-03 14:20:39
                      Text based tools? by Snowdog2002-10-03 14:20:20
                        *sigh* Yes, I know about useradd. by Avium2002-10-03 14:32:31
                          Ok. by Snowdog2002-10-03 14:43:24
                            Not exactly unique. by Avium2002-10-03 17:24:58
