>Your comment seems to come from a 'political' point of view, you must know the command line options to run Linux, this is not true. If you have nothing else to do with your time, by all means learn and run only in the command line mode. Just because you installed 'startx' on your machine it doesn't mean that you have to be in graphical mode all day. Do a 'startx' when you need to and leave the system in a char prompt the rest of the time. (simple solution!) I tested running 'startx' and a file processing test I have; on a 500Mhz AMD I lost 7-10% on a 1800+ AMD I lost 0% It was a simple test, but at some point in the processor speed range, servicing a 'startx' environment doesn't hurt much. Again use a 'startx' env. when you need to!! John A. Ward -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
