I use KDE only when I need to download stuff off the web, or look up something off the web, and I use KDE sometimes for mail. But I will always do my server "maint" and configs from a CLI using an editor like vi. None of my servers even have X on them...and the only box that does is one of the workstations at my desk...I use SSH and/or telnet for everything. In most cases, if I need to download something from the web to one of my servers, I will download it to my workstation first (and I run an FTP server on my workstation) then download it from my workstation to my server. IMHO...and I know I'll get some $h1t for it...but....GUI configuration programs are for pansies. :) --Brian -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Grant Cooper Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2002 7:08 PM Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Administrators - GUI's or Command lines quick question for the admins, do you guys perfer to work out of a GUI such as KDE or just from freeBSD CLI(command line interface)?
