    You can still do this with XP and Windows 7 if you bring up the boot menu options.

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

    The XP one was Safe Mode with Command Prompt options. Not quite the same. Now I'm on Windows 8 and haven't tried it yet.

      The vanilla server version is like this, for most server applications you probably don't want/need the overhead of an GUI. Also this is only true if you need to know what you are doing in linux, which I don't. So the first thing I did was to Google the instructions to install the desktop environment...

      KDE? or Unity? I'm a great Unity hater. Yet another addition to my public hate-list.

        I'm assuming you're talking about sending or receiving commands to or from a Linux server? But to read anything from a server, a GUI has to exist somewhere in order for a browser (command-line or GUI-based) to work. How else would you read something without a GUI?

        stdout. You're obviously far too young -- you want to stop that.

          Yeah, I realized that in my response to someone else. :-O I was too busy seraching for an Asterix page while reading CP. Should really focus on one thing at a time.

              Absolutely not. I telnet into my OpenVMS servers (unless I use my VT220). I have even written classes to allow code to telnet and perform tasks: CommScript[^]TelnetSocket[^]

                Yea, not quite the same. You could always type "explorer" and blow the ruse. And now in Windows 7 you can't even make a command prompt full-screen. :((

                  Unity, KDE is for splitters. Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnndd that is the most of the problem with Linux in two posts.

                    There are lots of embedded machines out there that use Telnet over Ethernet, or even RS-232 for command-line use.

                      BTW, I took read to mean literally, as in using one's eyes for reading. Otherwise, server to client communication isn't actually reading if there's no humans involved and I'm assuming the text-based browser is for humans who would need a monitor to read the text (even remotely).

                      Dude. Read = text, not graphics. I'm guessing you've never used or seen lynx. It's a text-based browser, the TEXT gets output to the console. No mouse, no clicking, no images, no GUI. Behold: http://bit.ly/1dZiqXE[^]
