    What about BB, AA, and Caca? You can play video with cacaxine.

    nope! an OS without a GUI would bore me. i am capable of learning all the codes, but why would i want to do so exclusively?

    I would still use it with no GUI but mostly as a server, firewall, etc, mostly on the network.

    Even with no GUI its still way better than windows at network things and way more secure.

    +1 for yes.

    Re: Would you use Linux if there was no GUI?

    I use a server (SMESERVER) with no GUI, but would not use it on my desktop without. I guess I am just lazy

    If someone asks you to sudo rm -rf anything, don't do it, and don't run any command with rm in it unless you know exactly what you're doing.
