[Cialug] Command Line Linux

[David Champion]

Even if you do install the GUI, it's not that big. I installed Kubuntu 
9.04, it takes up a whole 3.5gb for everything, including KDE, Firefox, 
Tbird, Quanta, the LAMP stack, and a few other goodies. You can change 
it to CLI mode by changing the runlevel... or there's probably an Ubuntu 
way to make that happen too.

Personally I usually leave a GUI installed even if I rarely run it on 
servers, it sometimes comes in handy.
