Are you kidding ? 1�/ when fail to launch miserably and you have to edit config files by hand 2�/ when some partitions are incorrect in fstab and you have to boot in single mode ( so only with / partition sometimes ) and have to manually edit fstab 3�/ when there is a pb and have to edit some files by hand without having X 4�/ if there was a very easy console text editor installed by default, when I will tell someone to modify a file, I will just tell it : "my_simple_editor file_to_modify". Why ? because it's faster than browsing to find the file and because we should encourage user to know a minimum the CLI -- http://perso.wanadoo.fr/linux_wizard/index.html - Loi du Capitaine Penny: Vous pouvez tromper 1000 personnes 1 fois, Vous pouvez tromper 1 personne 1000 fois, Mais vous ne pouvez pas tromper Maman !
