OK! we're building the system for NASA/Ames for their Human Factors lab. If you have about $85-100K laying around we'ld be happy to build you one too ;-) See www.lfstech.com John >Um, I don't know the answer, but I want one too......(737 Flight >simulator....) >Dennis > >-----Original Message----- >From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf >Of John Wojnaroski >Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 10:12 AM >To: CentOS mailing list >Subject: [CentOS] Turning off Gnome and other stuff > >Hi. > >Just did a Centos5.1 on a dual-core 64 bit machine, sweet!!! > >But would like to turn off the desktop and just about all the programs >started when the X server is fired up.
