Re: OT - Shutting down an RS/6000 ?

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

None of my Linux servers run Xwindows.  Why would they really need it?  I'd
rather just SSH to my servers than go in the back and have to sit down at
them.  I won't mention Webmin, because again that is an app for Unix and not
a native OS feature.

We are speakign more sever oriented.  If you start counting unix servers
runnign xwindows, then you have to incorporate Ops Nav into the equation on
the iSeries side.

Everythign I do for Linux i do via command line.
