I think you will find that X takes up quite a bit of memory. The cheapest solution may be to upgrade the memory on this system. Why would your boss want to add users to a webserver? Realistically, what is he going to touch if he doesn't know much about Linux CLI/webservers? I believe that Microsoft's TCO claim boils down to "Any idiot can admin an NT machine, you just click here and there"... This begs the question: Do you want an idiot running your server? I suggest you show your boss what to do using the CLI ... Actually, it just occurred to me that editing a file might be a lot easier, for a novice, in X. -Alan -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
