I am an Open SuSe user and installed on an old box (AMD K6 350MHz with 256 MB RAM) with no windowing system. During the installation, you are given the option to do a console only installation (I forget exactly what it was called, but it was something like that). This leaves all desktop stuff out, so it is essentially a server installation.
I am familiar with the Linux command line, but I've grown used to using GUI tools. So I was concerned about having to use solely the command line for management. But, to my surprise, the very useful SuSe tool called YaST has a console mode it can run in. I have yet to see something I could do with this that I can do with the X version. I log into it over my network using putty and can run YaST. So, if you want a headless Linux server but still have GUI tools to manage the system, you might consider Open SuSe. -- maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42989 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
