I'll need to read up on the advantages of one mode over the other. I
don't mind console mode, but always run startx when I want to work in a
gui desktop environment, and have no problems using a terminal window to
do much of my work. I don't mind command line mode and definitely don't
see any real advantage with MS Windows in this respect. I spend much
time in terminal windows, and the programming editor I normally use is
vim (not even bothering with gvim).
However, if there's an enhanced security advantage using kdm or gdm or
xdm boot mode, then I would definitely switch. Otherwise, am in no
hurry to do so.
Is there such an advantage booting with these as the boot mode?
