<Raises hand.> Yes, you're correct. I have two machines
running Debian here at home; my personal workstation
with SVGA etc, but also a server. The latter is a 486-DX-33
with 12mb RAM, Hercules/CGA video card and monitor, and no mouse.
No X, SVGALIB etc on this machine ..
I fully agree, too. We have a couple of routers here which are running debian. They have SVGA-Cards (hard to get anything less new in germany) but are only runnin in text-mode. No mouse and keyboard and monitor are multiplexed.
