I would probably understand more if he'd written
yes , there was a misunderstanding.

The other problem is when someone does know what they wish to accomplish

lynx, links, and elinks work quite well for non-Flash based web pages
with purely text interfaces. (They're curses based, which isn't
Sidney's much-ballyhooed "command line", but we know how far he gets
with that approach.). But if your server is actually serving a complex
web application, you probably want an actual web client so that you
can test it from the console. I've certainly installed browsers and
GUI's for exactly that purpose. |

Moral of the story - When someone asks a question that seems wrong,
simply answering their question probably will not help them solve their
problem. It is time to ask them what they are trying to accomplish so a
different and better approach can be taken.
Or as the Irish are wont to say
"If I was trying to get to there, sure I wouldn't be starting from here,
and all, begorrah!" |

If he wants to promote the use of his point of view, why doesn't he make
his own distro so we can look and see what a proper Linux install is like.

Not _my_ server, the web server inside the D-Link DSL-302G modem ;)

And, of course, the same applies for the server edition of Ubuntu. I
haven't tried, but I would find it very hard to believe that it
wouldn't be possible to uninstall the GNOME and the X-server (and
related packages) and install a LAMPS ditto on a standard desktop
install. A bit more work if your goal is to have a server, but
doable.
I run quite a lot of services (afs, ssh, http and smtp) on my desktop
(since I threw out the server box a couple of years back) and usually
administer them via the CLI.
