In the world of today's über computers using the text console may not be necessary, but I've had some pretty old computers, that took forever to start up X. Then running a terminal, even say urxvt with font-smoothing was slow. Sometimes we just want something simple, and to have a way of supporting it. Actually, i think doing the virtual consoles through X is a cool idea, because you can do alot of very interesting things that way, but it's always something to take into consideration, what use cases us edge people have had. -Yaakov -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
