Re: [orca-list] Do I always need a graphical server/interface?

[Rusty Perez <rustys lists gmail com>]

Well, I can see that my novice question and omission of data have
sparked a discussion!

I'm running Ubuntu 13.4.
I think I like Luke's  suggestion of stopping certain services when
I'm working with audio, and possibly stopping gdm as well.
The audio tools I am learning to use, nama/ecasound, and other command
line tools, don't rely on graphics.

Thanks all for your suggestions, and info.
If you think of something directly relating to ubuntu, please send it along!

Rusty
