You're right :-). I actually ran Open SuSE with the GUI intitially. I found that I used YaST (their configuration/system management tool) a LOT. Then I discovered that you can run it in a regular terminal window :-). For that reason I can get by with no GUI. I think the package selection can trip up newbie users. But on the other hand, when the services are installed, they are disabled by default, so the newbie has to figure out how to enable them anyway. As a newbie, I went through this myself. Even though I have tons of disc space, I am old school and perfer to only install what I need. Especially for a newbie, I guess that philosophy doesn't make sense. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 1 duet, 1 receiver.

MusicIP has been turned off temporarily while I move to a lossless version of my library. http://www.last.fm/user/maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58334 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
