At home, my firewall has no GUI or GUI apps, other than xterm (long story). However, right now I am working at a place that uses Oracle (gui-only installer) and RHEL. Since the senior admin is RedHat-trained, as in the company sent him to all the RedHat classes, he believes in using all the RedHat-provided GUI tools. So, our servers which really don't have a good reason to run GUIs, do in fact run GUIs. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
