Hi and Welcome !

it depends on what you want to achieve.

Debian, Gentoo, Slacks etc. if you dont install GUI, you will have command line only. you can disable GUI in any distro.

and please let me know what command sheel it is like bash or xterm.

download Debian Netinstall CD ( i386 ) from here. if you wont install anything, you will have minimal system without GUI.

i would suggest to install any latest Linux Distro. you can disable GUI easily.

check here for basic command line stuff.

what distro do you recommand and how do I disable the GUI

**devils casper** · 07-17-2007

if you really want Command Line distro only then download Debian Netinstall CD, burn .iso image to CD and install it. Installer will guide you all the way.

Distro selection depends on you only. Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSe are newbie friendly and Slackware, Gentoo and Arch are for advance users only.
there are hundreds of distros available and nobody can tell you which one is best for you. try as many as you can and find out yourself.
Check the link in my signatures.

how do I disable the GUI

first of all, select a distro and let us know your choice.

I would chgoose the neinstall debian but I need it to support wlan cards.

So I choose ubuntu.

**devils casper** · 07-17-2007

Ubuntu is Perfect choice. I am using latest version of Ubuntu, 7.04 ( Feisty Fawn ).

Edit :
boot up Ubuntu and open Terminal.
execute this

Code:

cd /etc/rc2.d
sudo mv S99gdm K01gdm

reboot machine. Ubuntu will boot up in command line mode only. you can start GUI using command 'startx' OR execute this

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
