Exactly.  And mor importantly, no one is trying to remove the CLI (or 
the GUI) from Linux.  Both choices are there.  (And I use a GUI to 
manage several CLI terminals often)  But in the new debate, people ARE 
trying to remove Gnome 2 from Linux.  This is my first time in Linux 
where a large group is trying to eliminate choice...  It is kind of 
shocking!
