This is a series of five articles treating about GNU/Linux command line interface as a great way of both exploring and simply using this operating system. It covers basics features of the CLI including file management, pipes, streams, redirections, regular expressions, system variables and more.

Well if X windows is not available and you are clueless about configuration basically you are stuck.

On a server or production environment the CLI is more than sufficient for ALL system admin task.

Plus, Ubuntu is not server material maybe for a 'home' user but work place no.

However, Red Hat, SuSE or the like have enterprise desktop environments.

The most top distros from Distrowatch.com target desktop users, not servers and usually X Windows is required by intended audience and often installed GUI tools don't do a well job CLI is a way to go.
