#1 Re: A day without X Posted by ajt (204.193.xx.xx) on Fri 25 May 2007 at 11:52 Once you have screen up and running, you can do an awful lot from the command line interface. Before I found screen I struggled with the CLI, being able to read one something on one screen while typing into something else is a massive benefit. I run X and KDE on my workstation at home but most of the important things take place in a Konsole window. At work where we are forced to use Windows desktops, I like to use PuTTY full screen running screen rather than X, as it's pig slow a Windows box. Some nice GUI apps are nice for something, web browsing and stuff you do infrequently where is nice to have buttons to press rather than remember commands, but for speed you can beat a decent CLI. -- "It's Not Magic, It's Work" Adam
