If you have the space then install the GUI a) if you use -g when you start cvsup it doesn't run the GUI b) you can delete it afterwards if you feel *really* opposed to it c) everyone should see the pink screen of cvsup once in their life :-) Seriously though, I've always run without the GUI and I probably prefer it like that. I ran with the GUI once and it was great fun, but then I am easily amused by simple novelty things. I couldn't say which is better as they're just a little different. Horses for courses and all that; you won't know which is more suited to your style/preferences until you try both.
