If I can digress for just a moment, I am use to Sun Solaris boxes, which, at
my previous company, booted to something akin to classic X windows. Are you
suggesting that I utilize that, or just go with no GUI at all and boot
directly to the prompt? I am just curious as to what you are suggesting, as
I find it an intersting alternative, however, our other admins are all
Windows Admins and my concern is that if there is no GUI, they will be lost.
Thoughts?
