Let's not be pedantic here. Certainly a server should have its runlevel set to 3 (full multiuser mode, but not X11), so most of the time it sits there with a text login prompt, not wasting memory and God-knows-how-many of cycles doing nothing in X. However, it can be quite reasonable to fire up X to do something on the console if X makes some task easier. (Maybe better: ssh into the server from another computer that is running X, and do your stuff remotely.) Even if your server is doing mixed duty that includes some naive users occasionally at the console you can still leave it in run level 3 and have those users' logins automatically do an "exec startx" so they won't have to remember how to get into X and to logout after leaving X--all without wasting resources keeping X idling all the time. -kb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
