BitTorrent Clients and X



	Does BitTorrent require X to run under Linux?

	I was going to download a file that appears to exist only in
.torrent form and was shunted to the BitTorrent web site to download a
.deb package.  I figured this was a good time to learn about
BitTorrent so I downloaded the package and nothing much else really
happened.  This system does not run X and I think what really happened
was that the package unpacked and couldn't install.  A look at the
BitTorrent web site mentions the GUI in system requirements, but I am
not sure if that is optional or what.  In my case, a required GUI equals
no application period.
