Ah, sorry. My caffeine level wasn't high enough to understand your 
point.

I have to admit, however, that I have no trouble administering any of 
my systems (Fedora Core, Gentoo, Debian) via the command line.

The only GUI lock-in I've encountered has been in third-party 
applications like MATLAB or Oracle -- and then only during 
installation.

Can I ask what administrative step you encountered required a GUI?
