According to David Chisnall on Mon, Jun 02, 2014 at 04:27:23PM +0100: > Yes. If you want to have the graphical versions of everything on the server, then there's nothing stopping you from using the default package repository. THe use case for the proposed no-X repo is installing a headless server where you won't be doing X forwarding, and so want versions of tools that are command-line-only. If you're explicitly choosing not to install the GUI for Vim, the odds are you won't want Firefox either... Seems logical, yes :) Thanks. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.net In memoriam to Ondine, our 2nd child: http://ondine.keltia.net/
