Hello Jason,
Been a linux guy for so long now, I don't understand this conversation. If you want a console app, make one. If you want a gui app, make one. Pity there needs to be a whole different OS for that. 

I don't quite understand what you mean by this. Do you want to say that
you regard X-Windows as a different OS? I think it is just an
application running on top of Linux, isn't it?
No, just poking fun at microsoft(it's the one that has the 2 OSs). And pointing out that with *nix if you want console only you needn't install the gui. So, I have my OLD machine(486) running with no gui and my new machines I have the gui. And my hw that's supported on my 486 is still supported on the new stuff.
