[Cialug] CentOS & GPT

[Tim Champion]

makes it easier to google for the solution to the problem you are having
while sitting at the console, but I guess the answer to that would be you
are connected via ssh from your desktop in your office. - that has a GUI.

But honestly, I've been in the server room at the console, and was really
happy that the machine I was currently working on had firefox for googling,
and I didn't have to switch the kvm over to a windows box so I could hit
google.  xwindows doesn't really slow the computer down, especially when
idle.
