Well, IMO, server software should default to disabled. It is not unusual for users (novices and even experienced) to install server side software they aren't going to use...at least initially. To have them default to start seems a good choice. This is especially true when you probably should alter any default configurations. I personally don't find it difficult to enter "systemctl enable some.service" and "systemctl start some.service". I am sure there will be a GUI some day. As for GNOME in fallback mode. I don't use GNOME....but my impression is that it needs certain functionality in the graphics that I'm not sure will work in any remote environment. > > Vnc does not look too bad in this instance, although in an MS environment I > find > that the image quality often lacking.

I think part of the reason I moved away from it is that when I do "remote" it can be *remote* and the performance over low bandwidth or high latency links was lacking. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
