I don't see what maintenance load this imposes. I have a no-x runlevel for |
| 10 |
when I don't want a GUI, and since creating it and populating it I've never |
| 11 |
had to touch it. |

In practice, it turns out that the only differences between my default and |
| 14 |
no-x are the presence of gpm in no-x and of xdm and lm_sensors in default. |

(I use lm_sensors for gkrellm, which of course, although indispensable on |
| 16 |
the desktop, isn't much use in a character display.) |
