I'm NOT anti-linux. I have a number of linux boxes on both intel and ppc. I
LIKE it. In my experience, though, Windows 2000 on the same hardware with
the apps I like is faster in operation than the equivalent X applications
that I have tried. Others I know have come to the same conclusion. The
answer for me was not to dump Linux, but to dump X. Plus, since most of my
linux boxes are servers of one kind or another, it is just a waste of disk
space to have it and a waste of resources to run it, since I can get it all
done from the CLI.

Fair enough.

Sure. I know that. The point that was raised was about common office
applications being faster in X. There is much utility to running an app
remotely, though again I prefer just to use the character apps for that.

Which is all I was saying. It has nothing to do with being anti-Linux. I
am, in fact, quite the opposite.
